WHAT:
The "Keep Your Home" event will offer FREE, on-site application assistance and
information to at-risk, qualified homeowners. Volunteer real estate attorneys
and HUD-certified counselors will review homeowners' paperwork and determine

Stability Plan - known as "Making Home Affordable." If so, an application
will be prepared on-site and forwarded to the loan servicer.
