We can help!

Come to a free foreclosure prevention clinic to learn how to save your home from foreclosure. The clinics offer homeowners the opportunity to hear about the foreclosure process by an attorney from CT Fair Housing.  In addition, a representative from the department of banking will talk about programs available to homeowners within CT and a court appointed mediator describes the mediation process within the judicial system.

Homeowners may also talk with an attorney or paralegal to discuss their particular situation.
