In response to the 2008 financial crisis, we increased our housing counselor trainings to ensure consumers facing mortgage delinquency and default could turn to trusted, knowledgeable sources of assistance. In the next few years, we expanded our support of housing counseling agencies as co-facilitator of the Home Ownership Counseling and Legal Aid Task Force of the the Regional Home Ownership Preservation Initiative, a Chicago Metro initiative to support homeowners and stabilize communities.
