St. Louis Gets Award for Foreclosure Prevention Program
By Cara | December 1, 2009
St. Louis recently was one of eight cities to receive the National League of Cities’ (NLC) 2009 Awards for Municipal Excellence. The awards were given to cities which demonstrate outstanding programs that enrich the quality of life in their communities.
The St. Louis Alliance for Homeownership Preservation earned the City of St. Louis a silver award. The alliance was formed in response to increased foreclosures in the City and provides initial homeowner screening, budget preparation, financial literacy courses, intervention/negotiations with lenders to restructure/refinance existing mortgages and case management to homeowners at risk of getting into foreclosure.
The City of St. Louis is proud of the St. Louis Alliance for Homeownership Preservation’s accomplishments and urges anyone purchasing a home or in danger of losing their home to foreclosure to contact the Alliance as soon as possible.
Homeowners in the St. Louis area seeking foreclosure help can contact the United Way, which will put them in touch with the St. Louis Alliance for Homeownership Preservation, a coalition of nonprofits pooling their expertise. The alliance includes: ACORN, Better Family Life, Beyond Housing, Catholic Charities and the Urban League.
The numbers to call are: 2-1-1 from a Missouri home phone or 1-800-427-4626 from Missouri or Illinois.
