Jan 27: Public Forum on “Facing Foreclosure? What are Your Options?”
Because of Presidential Inauguration activities, the January meeting of the Community Forum for Economic Development has been postponed and is now scheduled for Tuesday, January 27, from 7 – 9 p.m.
The site of the meeting has also been changed to the Charles Black Recreation Center, at 3419 W. Washington Street.
This program will provide important information for those facing
foreclosure as well as for neighbors, family, and friends of those
facing foreclosure.
Judith Fox, an attorney from the Notre Dame Legal Aid
Clinic and an expert on predatory lending, will present an overview of
the situation in St. Joseph County, identify foreclosure timelines,
address the problems facing renters of foreclosed properties, and
discuss pending legislation in the Indiana Legislature and the U.S.
Congress.
Pamela Meyer, director of the City of South Bend's Division of Community Development,
will address the consequences of foreclosures in affected neighborhoods
and will provide information about the Neighborhood Stabilization
Program and other local- and federal-based programs that address housing.
Questions from the audience will follow the presentations.
