Foreclosure Prevention Training a Success!
April 9, 2008On April 9th, nearly forty people packed a large conference room at Rackemann Sawyer & Brewster to attend a 1-hour training on refinancing to help with the Homeownership Preservation Partnership Pilot (HPPP) project. The HPPP is a joint project of Urban Edge, Nuestra Comunidad, United Way, Citizens Bank, City of Boston and the Lawyers Clearinghouse. Leslie Cooke, Esq. of Chicago Title Insurance, Co. led the training, using material prepared by her as well as a package of forms prepared by the Lawyers Clearinghouse to walk attendees through the steps involved in closing residential loans and the various forms they would likely encounter. Despite the fact that the training overran by 30 minutes, most of the attorneys stayed for the entire 90-minute session.
