Foreclosure Hotline Program “HOPE” Announced
January 31st, 2007 . by Knox BardeenA 24 hour, 7 days a week hotline has been announced to assist Georgia homeowners avoid foreclosure. The program, called HOPE, will also offer face to face counseling to Georgians who may be at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure. This program announcement comes on the heels of a report that places Atlanta’s 2006 foreclosure total at 63,737 homes, 4.4% of the city’s households, which is 2nd highest in the country among major metro areas.
The hotline phone number is 1-888-995-HOPE (4673)
Unfortunately the authors of the report did not contact us. We publish The Atlanta Foreclosure Report and our records indicate that the number of foreclosure notices was 44,971 in 2006. Of those we estimate only 50% actually made it to the steps.
