Around the country, homeowners are facing hard times, including job loss and rising food and energy costs. Many homeowners have had trouble paying their mortgages, have had their homes foreclosed, or may soon face the threat of foreclosure. The problem has been particularly acute in New Haven.
The Real Options, Overcoming Foreclosure (ROOF) Project is here to help. Growing out of Mayor John DeStefano's mortgage foreclosure task force, ROOF is a coordinated response to the growing mortgage foreclosure crisis in New Haven. We raise awareness of foreclosure issues, coordinate assistance to at-risk borrowers, and develop strategies to stabilize neighborhoods with a concentration of foreclosures.
Whether you're a homeowner in need, a potential partner, a policymaker or advocate, or a researcher trying to learn more about foreclosures in New Haven, ROOF can assist you.
The ROOF project maintains a webpage at http://www.theroofproject.org/.
Please see the DataHaven page on housing indicators for more information and data related to housing and foreclosure issues in Connecticut.
