Just received this in the mail:

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development invite you to a Help for Homeowner's Community Event Friday, July 31 and Saturday, August 1.

Sponsored by HOPE NOW, NeighborWorks America, City of Phoenix, and the Arizona Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Task Force

This FREE event is designed to help homeowners who may be in default or facing imminent default on their monthly mortgage payments. If you are looking for a way to make homeownership more affordable, come to this event and find out if the Making Home Affordable Program may be able to help you.

Participants will have the opportunity to talk with representatives from various mortgage companies and HUD-certified housing counselors.

HOPE NOW is a partnership between lenders and non-profit housing counselors. Our mission is simple: we reach out to and attempt to assist homeowners who may be having difficulty paying their mortgages.

NeighborWorks America creates opportunities for people to live in affordable homes, improve their lives and strengthen their communities.

The Obama Administration's Making Home Affordable Program was created to help millions of homeowners refinance or modify their mortgage payments to a level that is affordable now as well as in the future.
