Pro Bono's Home Rescue Team is Saving Homes The Pro Bono Home Rescue Team (HRT) for more than a year now has been helping homeowners in danger of losing their homes.
Attorney volunteers have assisted clients with negotiating loan modifications and resolving other related legal issues which were preventing them from modifying their loans.
A recent survey of clients referred to the HRT in 2009 showed that many are having success. This is certainly good news, but Pro Bono still needs your help.
If you're already a Pro Bono volunteer or you've been thinking of getting involved, please consider joining the HRT to help those in your community who are trying to rescue their homes from foreclosure.
Written materials from a seminar about loan modifications are available to those willing to join the HRT volunteer panel. For information about how to get involved, please contact Carolann, 603-715-3205, or Joceline, 603-715-3262, at the Pro Bono Program.
