To: All struggling homeowners

The Community Involvement Committee of GHAR received grant money from NAR in 2010 and did such a good job of running a series of Foreclosure Prevention Forums for the public that they gave us more money this year! Saturday, November 5th, 11am at GHAR will mark the 5th and perhaps final forum.

It's been hard work but also very rewarding. The committee has met some amazing volunteers and homeowners throughout the process. Overall, we've given free foreclosure and legal advice to over 55 people. How inspiring to meet those willing to do all they can to keep their dream of homeownership!

Just as inspiring has been the community of volunteers willing to give their time. We've created strong alliances with great people like attorney Jeff Gentes from the Connecticut Fair Housing Center who has given his time, knowledge and also supplies our handouts. Rose Holbrook from the CT Housing & Finance Authority voluntarily shares the programs available to struggling homeowners and we have had a few of the foreclosure mediators from the State Foreclosure Mediation Program willing to share the process that our state has set as an example for others.

We are also pleased to have Casey Healey from The Healey Law Firm LLC in Cheshire, who will join us for this last forum. This will be the second forum that Casey is volunteering to share her years of foreclosure and bankruptcy law experience.

The audience is not only made up of struggling homeowners looking for answers but REALTORS® like you are also encouraged to attend. Those that have atteneded, have been pleasantly surprised by how well the forum is organized and how much helpful information is distributed. So, please help us spread the word about November 5th at 11am so that we can make this last forum our very best forum.
