Northside Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) presents:
HOME FOR THE WINTER INITIATIVE
FREEZING FORECLOSURES BEFORE THEY FREEZE US!
NCRC volunteers have identified over 500 North Minneapolis residents who received adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) in 2007 or are currently delinquent on their mortgage payments. On Monday December 1st- Thursday December 4th from 5pm-7pm we will be going out in groups of 2 to visit these residents to make sure they know they may be able to get a loan modification by working with a foreclosure prevention counselor at one of several local agencies. The counseling is free of charge.
We need volunteers to visit these neighbors and protect our community's wealth from predatory lenders and foreclosure! There will be a brief training, as well as t-shirts and free food afterwards for all volunteers. Simply RSVP to Lance Knuckles at 612-239-2960 or morphcommunity@yahoo.com and then show up at 5pm at the Minneapolis Urban League on any of the four nights: Monday December 1st- Thursday December 4th.
