Governor Quinn's Mortgage Relief Project will be stopping in Villa Park to help homeowners prevent foreclosure (DuPage County)

 Offering Illinois homeowners immediate assistance to prevent foreclosure, Governor Pat Quinn's Mortgage Relief Project will stop in Villa Park on Saturday, January 28, 2012.
 
Homeowners who have recently fallen behind on their mortgage payments can obtain a 90-day grace period by entering housing counseling, according to the Homeowner Protection Act, which was signed into law two years ago by Governor Quinn. Administered by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Illinois Housing Development Authority, property owners can take advantage of state and federal program on-site at Mortgage Relief Project outreach events.
 
The event is being co-hosted by State Senator Carlole Pankau. It will be the 27th stop in a statewide tour that began in the summer of 2009. The event last visited DuPage County in October 2011.
 
The free workshops will be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. (registration closes at 12 noon) on Saturday, January 28, 2012 at Willowbrook High School, 1250 S Ardmore Ave Villa Park, IL.  Homeowners will receive helpful advice about mortgage refinancing, foreclosure prevention, legal rights, credit counseling and avoiding scam artists. Homeowners can also obtain private, one-on-one housing counseling with HUD-certified counselors. Be sure to bring your latest mortgage documents (bills, statements, notices, etc.), two most recent paystubs, and your state ID or driver’s license.
