If you’re facing possible foreclosure, the certified housing counselors at ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions (CCCS)* will provide you with a confidential, no-cost session to help you understand your options.

In your one-on-one counseling, we’ll review your income and expenses and advise you on your viable options, be it:

  • a short sale
  • a modification
  • a repayment plan
  • a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
  • a forbearance
  • a bankruptcy

You will learn about the foreclosure timeline and steps to take to avoid foreclosure. Our counselor will offer assistance in dealing with your lender, provide information on avoiding scams and explain how to avoid predatory lending.

ClearPoint’s housing counselors will let you know if you’re likely to benefit from federal foreclosure assistance including:

  • Making Home Affordable Program
  • Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)
  • Cash for Keys
  • Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)
  • Home Affordable Mortgage Program (HAMP)
  • Deed for Lease Program
  • Specialized In-House Lender Programs
