FORECLOSURE RESOURCES

New Foreclosure Prevention Hotline

The State of Maine is working with non-profit groups to develop a program to help reduce foreclosure and assist homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments. We can connect you with a housing counselor to talk about your situation and to help you work with your mortgage company if you are at risk of foreclosure. Call our bureau's Foreclosure Prevention Hotline at 1-888-664-2569 for access to free advice and assistance.
