[GPSCC-chat] Volunteers needed to help homeowners threatened with foreclosure

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       A "Housing Navigator" program is being developed that will 
recruit volunteers to work one-on-one with people facing a foreclosure 
sale.  If you might be interested in volunteering or you know anyone who 
might be interested or who is dealing with a pending foreclosure, you or 
they may wish to attend the "Homeowner's Rights Fair" next Sunday, noon 
- 4 PM at Most Holy Trinity in southeast San José 
(www.cagreens.org/santaclara/07-28-2013%20Fair%20VA.pdf 
<http://www.cagreens.org/santaclara/07-28-2013%20Fair%20VA.pdf>).


       If you might be interested but are not available Sunday, please 
let me know so I can get you involved in the future.


       A Housing Navigator will help foreclosure victims organize their 
records and decide whether seek free help with an organization like 
Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley (nhssv.org), which would 
provide further advice and training in managing family finances and 
preparing a request for a loan modification.  A Housing Navigator will 
also help the distressed homeowner file a Qualified Written Request 
(QWR) for copies of the critical documents the bank has on them 
(http://hofj.org/default.asp.pg-ForeclosureDefense) and decide whether 
it would be wise to pay an attorney for legal assistance, e.g., in 
examining the responses to a QWR for fraud, e.g., robo-signing, and 
other things that can be used to push the banks to offer a loan 
modification on more favorable terms.


       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
