Free Housing Foreclosure Prevention Clinic

The San Diego County Library is partnering with the Housing Opportunities Collaborative to offer free housing help and foreclosure prevention at monthly HOME Clinics throughout the year. The next HOME Clinic is taking place at the San Marcos Community Center, which is next door to the San Marcos Library.

The HOC is a HUD-approved housing agency that provides attendees with specialized assistance and educational resources to promote informed financial decision making. The County Library has partnered with the HOC to offer HOME Clinics since 2009, and have served over 3,100 families. The market value savings for customers is over $2.7 million in fees and services to date. This free clinic will offer educational sessions and give individuals an opportunity to speak confidentially with lawyers, housing experts and mortgage counselors about foreclosure and bankruptcy.

Registration is strongly recommended, and participants must bring a photo I.D., loan documents, last mortgage statement and any lender documents to the event. Call the number below or contact the library to register.
