Foreclosure Resources

Addressing the foreclosure crisis is one of the most important things we can do to restore a healthy economy. Utilizing funds stemming from the recent nationwide state-federal settlement over unlawful foreclosures, the Attorney General’s Office launched a statewide foreclosure prevention and borrower support initiative entitled the HomeCorps. (Office of the Attorney General)

If you are facing foreclosure, the HomeCorps program may be able to help. You can call the HomeCorps Hotline at 617-573-5333.
