Help for Struggling Homeowners

A free workshop Friday at the Cobb Galleria features top mortgage servicers and non-profit housing counselors.

The HOPE NOW Alliance & Making Home Affordable are bringing the nation’s largest mortgage servicers, along with several non-profit housing counseling organizations, to Atlanta to work one-on-one with struggling homeowners in Georgia.

The event will allow homeowners struggling with their mortgage payments the opportunity to review their options and learn about possible alternatives to foreclosure.

This free event will be held on Friday, January 25, 2013, at the Cobb Galleria Centre – Hall A, 2 Galleria Parkway, in Atlanta. Doors open at 1:00pm and the event will run until 8:00pm. Homeowners will be seen on a first come, first-served basis and are encouraged to bring all mortgage documents, income documents, and hardship letters. A full list of the necessary documents can be found at www.MakingHomeAffordable.gov and www.HOPENOW.com.
