Foreclosure Prevention Awareness

About CHFA’s Foreclosure Prevention Efforts

CHFA is committed to helping Coloradans achieve and successfully sustain homeownership through sound financial decision-making. Towards that end, CHFA has applied for and was awarded two grants totaling $3.3 million from NeighborWorks America to increase foreclosure prevention activities throughout the state. Using these funds, CHFA has partnered with 14 nonprofit housing counseling agencies to provide free, professionally trained foreclosure mitigation counseling to homeowners at-risk of foreclosure. To date, these grant funds have helped more than 2,000 Coloradans receive free housing counseling services; helping many avoid foreclosure.

CHFA is also a proud sponsor of the Colorado Foreclosure Hotline, 1-877-601-HOPE. Since its inception in 2006, three out of four homeowners who have met face-to-face with a housing counselor through the Hotline have found a successful resolution to their foreclosure situation.
