Letter: Facing Foreclosure? Here's Some Help

Editor,

The mortgage crisis has hit Los Angeles County harder than most areas of the country, with 80,803 homes currently in foreclosure, and 1 out of every 241 homes predicted to face foreclosure in the months ahead. But there are steps people can take to protect themselves and their property in this turbulent time.

This weekend I am co-sponsoring a Homeowners Assistance and Retention Workshop with Congressman Howard Berman -- an event that is designed to help families learn from the experts what they can do to avoid foreclosure and make sure their mortgage stays on track. Click here for details.

If you are worried about foreclosure, please consider attending this free event. And, if you have friends or family who may be facing this problem, be sure to forward this  invitation to them.
