Foreclosure Prevention

If you are struggling to make your monthly mortgage payment, don’t panic. In Illinois, it can take 12-15 months for a foreclosure to be completed. Don’t delay, call your lender or NHS as soon as you can. NHS offers free foreclosure prevention counseling and suburban “Keep Your Home” events throughout Chicagoland. Gather the required documents and see if you qualify for a loan modification.
