More than 300 Homeowners Have Established Accounts Through Website
April 8, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — The city’s foreclosure prevention website, www.StopNVForeclosures.org, is now available in Spanish as well as English. Simply click the desired language at the top left of the website. The city designed the website to provide borrowers the opportunity to complete a short online form and request assistance from local Department of Housing and Urban Development approved housing counseling agencies. It also helps unsuspecting homeowners steer clear of unscrupulous businesses that target those facing foreclosure by offering fraudulent services. This website was made possible through a grant from Fannie Mae.
Since its launch in August of 2010, more than 300 homeowners have established accounts through the website and more than 50 renters have been assisted in transitioning from a foreclosed rental home.
The city of Las Vegas is also providing one-time rental assistance to individuals and families impacted by the foreclosure crisis. The program covers moving costs and move-in fees. To qualify, individuals and families must be displaced due to foreclosure and meet income guidelines.
