Heritage of
America, a California based 501 (C) 3 organization and The
Helpful Hands Foundation, a non-profit 501 ( C ) 3 national
organization based in Florida, are announcing the kickoff of
a campaign to help families save their homes through a loan modification
program. HAECF, a local organization serving the people of
Bakersfield and Kern County since 1976, and THHF, a national foundation
specializing in loan modifications, have joined forces to help families during
this tough recession by offering to provide services to work out a negotiated
loan modification with lenders and banks.
Home ownership is a cornerstone of the American Dream. Having to leave a home unexpectedly because of unforeseen hardships is disturbing. A part of their reality is being ripped away and a part of their dream is being erased.
It
is important to help people understand that we at Heritage of America and The
Helpful Hands Foundation are here to help them preserve their dream.
Unfortunately home preservation is not the same as home buying. There is no
negotiation nor counter offers. It is a presentation of the homeowners
current ability to RETAIN that dream. The lender has set guidelines to mitigate
the financial loss of the property. Our focus is to present the
homeowners current financial scenario in the best way possible for both parties
involved. The lender will take a hard look at whether it would be cheaper
(or more profitable to them) to simply proceed with the foreclosure process on
the house.
Many families have been affected with this economy whether it be job loss, a
death in the family, illness or just a toxic loan. Being “the helpful
hand” for someone will brighten their day and bring hope back into their
lives. We don't make the rules, we --here at Heritage of
America and The Helpful Hands Foundation -- must have the compassion to guide
people through this process.
Whether a person is at the front end as a Field Counselor or on the back end as
a Mitigation Counselor, together at Heritage of America and The Helpful Hands
Foundation we can be the 'helpful hand' that these people are seeking.
Together we are making a difference.
HAECF developed a 30 second television PSA (one in English and a second
one in Spanish) which announces their intent to help people by offering to work
with their lenders, and consequently, to save their homes
(see below).
