While other parts of the Richmond area have seen lots of foreclosures, Oregon Hill has remained relatively stable. That’s not to say that people are not struggling here and elsewhere. In response…

Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) announces a new group education
opportunity for those recovering from a foreclosure or facing a
foreclosure. The goals of the recovery class are to provide support,
education and resources to help recover financially and personally; to
empower individuals to create for themselves a more secure financial
future; and to find comfort and encouragement in a peer group setting of
other individuals who have also been through this difficult time.

HOME invites anyone who has recently been through or are currently in
the process of a foreclosure to see if this 4-week class is right for
them by attending one of the informational sessions on Tuesday, March 22
at 6:30PM or Thursday, March 24 6:30PM. Individuals must attend one of
these information sessions or contact HOME by phone prior to the first
class on March 29.
