Foreclosure Prevention Efforts in Winnebago County and region

Winnebago County has a number of scattered foreclosure prevention programs, highlighted by FISC's efforts, the recent Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program administed by Homestead Solutions (pre-apps due July 22), and the recent forclosure prevention program organized in the Valley this past June.

I noticed that Dane County has a group dedicated to the issue and a companion website (http://daneforeclosurehelp.org/). Based upon a brief review, it appears as though they are doing much of the same work that is happening in our area, but possibly with more publicity and consistency, which may produce results including greater outreach and connection to households at risk for this issue.
