The Jefferson County Housing Task Force is pleased to announce its second Foreclosure Prevention and Financial Resource Fair for those who are facing financial hardship, concerned about not being able to make their next mortgage payment, or simply wanting to improve their financial health. This free event is open to the public.

The fair will be attended by the following mortgage loan servicers: Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Fannie Mae, PNC Bank, GMAC Mortgage, CitiMortgage and US Bank. ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions, Beyond Housing and United Way will also be present to discuss financial challenges with homeowners.  The event will be held Saturday, February 4th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Quad Cities Senior Center located in the Masonic Lodge at 221 Bailey Rd.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-approved housing counselors will be available for one-on-one sessions to discuss mortgage and credit concerns. The fair will also connect attendees to representatives from a local realtor and short-sale expert, title company and attorney for no sales-based free advice.
