Working with Housing Counsellors
Homeowners should beware of solicitations! MSHDA certified housing counselors and LAWM attorneys will work with you FOR FREE, allowing homeowners to save their money to make their mortgage payments.
Additionally, MSHDA certified housing counselors and LAWM attorneys are well trained in foreclosure prevention and are accountable to homeowners and funders. Many of the solicitations homeowners will receive are scams and will take your money but not offer any real assistance. Others may be legitimate, but will still require homeowners to pay a substantial amount, often more than $1000, for that assistance, when similar if not better assistance is available for free.
