Bucks County Starts Foreclosure Diversion Program

Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania has joined with the Bucks County Courts system and the Bucks County Bar Association to launch a pilot program called The Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Program.

Beginning the week of July 6, Bucks County residents served with mortgage foreclosure papers also received an "urgent notice" announcing a free program that could help them stay in their homes. After meeting with a housing counselor, the homeowner will have a conference scheduled with a representative of the lender and a volunteer attorney and retired Judge Isaac Garb. The goal will be to help the parties work out a plan to avoid a foreclosure and allow the borrower to stay in their home.

People concerned with losing their homes to foreclosure in Bucks County can also call the Don't Borrow Trouble Helpline, 1-888-275-8843.
