The panel discussion and workshop will provide insider tips about new state and federal programs designed to keep owners in their homes.  Plus, attendees will learn how the Florida housing settlement can provide dollars to fight off foreclosure.  The event will be held on Friday, September 28, 2012, 12 – 3 p.m. at the Urban League Community Empowerment Center: 560 NW 27^th Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. 

Launched in April 2011, Home for Good is a national campaign that is driven by individuals and organizations throughout the nation concerned about the enduring foreclosure and housing crisis.  Home for Good was designed to ensure that local and national leaders do not forget about the many who are on the brink of foreclosure, struggling to find an affordable rental, or losing critical resources — such as housing counseling — which have proven to help families hold on to their homes.*

Community partners presenting at the Home for Good Lunch & Learn include:

• Consolidated Credit Counseling
• Freddie Mac
• U.S. Department of HUD
• National Urban League
• U.S. Department of Treasury
• Urban League of Broward County
