Foreclosure Assistance's
Since 2001, United Neighbors has been a HUD-approved Housing Counseling Agency. We assist homeowners
who are facing possible foreclosure by providing information and guidance as to the options that are
available. The housing crisis in America is seriously impacting thousands of Iowans. As a growing number of our citizens face foreclosure, we have convened a group of public and private agencies to enhance existing counseling services by increasing the capacity of counseling agencies to serve more individuals. Our goal is to motivate homeowners to seek help by calling United Neighbors at 563-322-7363 or Iowa Mortgage Help Hotline at 877-622-4866.
Around Iowa, thousands of people just like you are struggling to pay the mortgage. These are good, hard-working Iowans who, for any number of reasons, are facing financial difficulties that make it difficult or impossible to repay their home loan Some Iowans are facing mounting healthcare costs Some Iowans are coping with a job loss Some Iowans have an adjustable rate mortgage that has re-set to an unmanageable interest rate
No matter the reason for your financial challenges, the Iowa Mortgage Help* initiative is here to assist you. Whether you are currently behind on your monthly mortgage payment, or if you may soon experience financial trouble, call for help now.
United Neighbors along with several credible public and private organizations and businesses teamed up to create the Iowa Mortgage Help initiative.
