Foreclosure Prevention
The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network
Last fall, Indiana began addressing the problem of foreclosure with the launch of a major statewide initiative to assist Hoosiers who are in danger of losing their homes. The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Initiative was developed by a coalition of lenders, banks, community organizations and housing-related agencies known as the Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network (IFPN).
Through this unique partnership of the public, private and nonprofit sectors, a toll-free helpline, 1-877-GET-HOPE was established. The helpline is available seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. For anyone who may be at risk of foreclosure, the helpline provides FREE, CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL COUNSELING with no obligation or commitment. Whenever possible, counselors assist homeowners over the phone. If more extensive assistance is needed, the counselor refers the homeowner to a certified foreclosure intervention specialist. Also, this Web site is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and offers an assessment.
Calendar of Events
The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network and its partners host a variety of events to address foreclosure in Indiana. The events range from educational opportunities to educate homeowners and potential homeowners on ways to avoid foreclosure, to forums that bring troubled borrowers face-to-face with lenders to discuss workout options to avoid foreclosure.
