State Provides Foreclosure Counseling
The Seattle PI reported that Governor Gregoire signed into law a $1.5 million bill that’ll provide counseling to at-risk homeowners.
The money will go to agencies that counsel people facing foreclosures, as the governor tries to curtail effects of the mortgage loan crisis hitting the nation and the state. The bill signed Monday also will pay for a free number for people to call for help. The number, 1-877-894-HOME, will be operating in about two weeks.
