There is a growing concern to provide free help for after the foreclosure for ex-homeowners now looking for a new way. I feel so blessed to be in an area that is so large putting together so many resources. As usual I’m afraid though, the supply can never really meet the need.

There is so much concentration to keep people in their homes, which is a good thing, but people have a tendency to forget that the foreclosed on ex-homeowner has a new set of needs now.  For many this is just part of a downhill spiral, emotionally, financially. It’s important that these people don’t fall by the wayside, but learn where they too may get some help.

There are many community based programs for food, shelter, etc. One place to look is in your local yellow pages. In ours, looking right up front there is a section on community services available. Many are there to help with rental assistance, bills like PG &E, etc.

Another great place to go for help is your church. Many have funds for helping their congregation in need.

The local library. You can use the computers for free to find just about anything you need.

This isn’t a time to be “prideful”. It’s a time to take care of you and your family. If you’re in a depression you can’t seem to break out of, check with your local Mental Health Dept. You have to take action. No one can help if they don’t know you need it.

There is plenty of free help after foreclosure. You just need to dig a little sometimes.
