This seems like a really important thing to do if you have time . . .
On Saturday, August 1, The Dane County Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce is holding a huge workshop at MATC-Truax to help struggling homeowners modify their mortgages and learn about avoiding foreclosure. We need lots of volunteers to help make the workshop a success and to help reduce the skyrocketing foreclosure rate in Dane County. Please help!
We need volunteers from 7:30 am until 3:00 pm (at the latest). If you’re only available to volunteer for a half day, that’s okay too! Of course, lunch and breakfast will be provided.
Please contact Annie Beaman for more information or to sign up as a volunteer:abeaman@wisc.edu, or 608-695-7070.
Most volunteers will have the following roles:
* staffing intake tables / screening homeowners
* proctoring educational workshops
* working one-on-one with homeowners to complete and submit loan modification applications
* manage technology: copying, faxing, scanning, etc.Volunteers will work with homeowners who are in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure. Homeowners will be able to:
* learn if they qualify for the federal “Making Home Affordable” loan modification program
* work with trained counselors to submit on-the-spot loan modification applications
* attend workshops on understanding the foreclosure process and financial literacyContact Annie Beaman for more information about volunteering. See also herehttp and RSVP to the workshop on facebook
