NEWS
- Foreclosure Help: Save the Dream
(Ohio Attorney General) Ohioans who are threatened
by foreclosure have recourse. The Attorney General's Office,
in partnership with many state agencies and other groups, supports
Save the Dream, Ohio's foreclosure-prevention resource.
Callers to the Save the Dream hotline - (888)404-4674 - can get
information on the foreclosure process, how to contact mortgage
servicers, what resources are available in each county, how to avoid
rescue scams, and what legal assistance and mediation is available.
Some counties have created Save Our Homes task
forces to provide addition help to residents. These task
forces work to connect homeowners with foreclosure prevention
services and mobilize business, government, legal, non-profit, and
citizen resources to help deliver these services to the citizens who
need them.
