A free Help for Homeowners community event, sponsored by the Obama Administration’s Making Home Affordable Program, HOPE NOW Alliance and NeighborWorks® America, will be held in Tampa for all homeowners who may be at risk of foreclosure.
The event is free, open to the public and provides a chance for homeowners to meet face-to-face with their mortgage company and a HUD-approved counseling agency to work on a solution to help them stay in their home.
The event will be held Friday, Feb. 24, from 1 to 8 p.m., at the Hyatt Regency Tampa, 211 N. Tampa St., Tampa.
