RE: ForeclosureInfoCA.org and Related Training

Date: October 7, 2008

With the support of a grant from the California Bar Foundation and assistance from the State Bar of California, Office of Legal Services, Access and Fairness staff, the Public Interest Clearinghouse and the State Bar are pleased to announce that ForeclosureInfoCA.org, a central repository for public resources and attorney volunteer opportunities, has gone live.

This site:
• Lists agencies and organizations providing mortgage foreclosure assistance to consumers.
• Links with www.probono.net/ca and lists the attorney volunteer opportunities available at legal services programs, HUD counseling agencies, local bars and LRS’s interested in using volunteer attorneys to address mortgage foreclosure issues on behalf of home owners and renters.
• Provides consumer education on mortgages, loans and the foreclosure process.

Ideas for additional ForeclosureInfoCA.org resources, should be directed to Siobhan Waldron, Public Interest Clearinghouse at swaldron@pic.org

In addition to this new website, FREE MCLE training is now available.
