Housing Services

At United Communities Against Poverty, Inc. (UCAP), we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing issues surrounding the housing crisis. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more about our programs and lend your support.

Foreclosure Prevention

We provide homeowners with alternatives to help them prevent foreclosure. We help borrowers understand the importance of timely mortgage payments and to recognize the warning signs of mortgage delinquency.We offer counseling in both groups and one–on–one sessions.

COUNSELING INCLUDES:

An initial telephone screening to determine the reason for default and past–due amount is required.

One–on–one counseling will consist of:

  • A review of the Making Home Affordable screening
  • Documentation collection and consultation with Mortgage Company to determine repayment plans/negotiations
  • Budget counseling and money management tips

Group workshops will include:

  • An in-depth look at Financial literacy and the foreclosure process.  Referrals are made if necessary. If default is not preventable and a foreclosure is foreseeable, the customer is advised on foreclosure procedures and alternatives to foreclosure (i.e. quick sale in lieu of foreclosure, deed–in–lieu, etc.).

Financial Literacy & Credit Counseling

As the safety net continues to fade, households must begin to make the most of their resources.  UCAP’s program seeks to move participants from beginner level behavior to intermediate and advanced. Financial Literacy was added to UCAP’s list of services in 2009.  It consists of group and one–on–one counseling.
