My main purpose here this morning is to remind everyone today is the day for the big Foreclosure Center Rescue Event being held at Mexican Heritage Plaza, 1700 Alum Rock Ave., San Jose, Calif. from 1 PM to 7 PM.

This will be a great opportunity for anyone going into foreclosure, in foreclosure, etc. to get some help. This event is absolutely FREE. There will be a talk by the DA on foreclosure scams, another by an attorney on bankruptcy, and more. I’m really looking forward to it. Just going to the orientation Monday I learned about services available that I knew nothing about.  This event is open to anyone in the Silicon Valley- San Francisco Bay Area and any of the surrounding areas. If you can get there, you are welcome.

There will be representatives from all the major HUD (Housing and Urban Development) certified counseling agencies as well as Legal Aid organizations to provide free and truthful information about the process of foreclosure and what options a homeowner has. There will also be a significant number of counseling agencies and a couple of lenders to meet with their clients.

If you can’t make it, one thing I learned the other day is that this center is open Mon-Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. The Foreclosure Help Center is sponsored by the City of San Jose, and they in conjunction with the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors are putting on the Foreclosure Rescue Event today.

For more information about what documents to bring with you or to make an appointment at the center (no appointments needed for today) just visit their site at Foreclosure Help Center.
