Home Repair Services Confronts the Foreclosure Crisis

At Home Repair Services, we are deeply concerned about the impact of foreclosure on individual families and our entire community. But concern isn’t enough. We’re also taking action.

Our Financial Counseling programs help about 1,600 families each year – one of the largest such non-profit programs in Michigan. We work directly with families and lenders to prevent foreclosure whenever possible.

Business also benefits. Lenders save up to $50,000 in related costs for each foreclosure avoided, according to a recent study.

If you’re a family worried about foreclosure, know that you are not alone.  Call Home Repair Services at (616) 241-2601 for free appointment with one of our financial counselors.  Don't delay.

If you want to help us spread the word about this service, download and print a flyer you can post on a bulletin board at work, at your church or in a community gathering place.  We also have inserts that are suitable for including in church bulletins or event programs.  Thank you for your support.

Home Repair Services counselors are trained under the requirements of the Making Home Affordable Program, and are able to discuss the required qualifications and applications with homeowners seeking this service.
