Housing Preservation
Housing Preservation assists lenders with website presence, reporting, and program questions. We also provide information on second mortgage payoffs, subordinations and lien releases. In addition to answering phone and email inquiries, we maintain lists of resources for homeowners to avoid foreclosure and work the Neighborhood Initiative Program of the Hardest Hit Fund.
