Foreclosure Activity
Many homeowners don’t have the resources to fight their lender or even get professional help in attempting to save their home leading to more and more foreclosure activity.
Loan Modifications
Many lenders may have held off on filing for a variety of reasons, but recently that policy seems to have changed and more and more lenders are aggressively pursuing foreclosure, especially when equity exists in the property.
Foreclosure Counseling
With the significant positive impact of foreclosure counseling, homeowners were not only more likely to avoid foreclosure, but also more likely to find a permanent solution to keep them in their home without the threat of the home being taken away by their lender.
Why Choose Us ?
The Home Ownership Assistance and Preservation (HOAP) Foundation supports and counsels homeowners with the mission of stabilizing communities, keeping families together and avoiding foreclosure of “the family home.” We do this in a variety of ways, but one of the most important services we provide, free of charge, is the opportunity to work with your lender on a loan modification to get you back in good standing and potentially lower monthly payments or even principal on your loan.
Foreclosure Activity
In recent months, foreclosures have actually been on the rise, which is a dramatic shift in what we’ve seen in recent years. Many homeowners don’t have the resources to fight their lender or even get professional help in attempting to save their home leading to more and more foreclosure activity. An increase in foreclosures breaks families apart, displaces children from their schools, churches and familiar surroundings and can lead to family strife including divorce and instability in our communities.
Foreclosure Avoidance
Many, many foreclosures can actually be avoided with the right guidance and professional help, but there are so few affordable resources out there that families don’t know where to turn. There are also many predatory scams that serve to make the situation worse by actually taking every last dollar a family may have trying to save their home to be left worse off from the experience. That’s precisely why we formed the HOAP Foundation. We saw the irreversible damage the last wave of foreclosures caused our state and county including homelessness, divorce and the deterioration of many great neighborhoods. We needed to offer assistance.
Costs
You may think our offer is too good to be true, but we are a non-profit organization recognized by the State of California and we are able to offer our help and professional services at absolutely no charge to you, the homeowner. We primarily provide loan modification services and foreclosure avoidance counseling to get you the best opportunity to keep your home and maintain your family circumstances exactly as they are today. Again, there is no charge for our services either upfront or at any time in the process, we rely only on donations.
