The national foreclosure crisis has hit Oakland County and the metropolitan Detroit region hard. While there are many opinions about what caused this crisis, everyone agrees that we must do everything we can to fight back.
Fighting back means preventing foreclosures by bringing banks and mortgage servicing companies to the table to work out agreements with homeowners, especially those victimized by subprime or predatory lending.
Fighting back means helping homeowners refinance into stable and affordable mortgages that are within their means, including through Michigan’s "Save the Dream Act." Fighting back means working with taxpayers to address and prevent tax foreclosure, where the Treasurer is required to auction properties with delinquencies more than 3 years old.
More than anything, fighting back means working across public, private and non-profit sectors to equip homeowners with the tools they need to overcome their financial challenges, keep their homes and enjoy Oakland County's world-renowned quality of life.
