Michigan residents seeking housing assistance in northwest Michigan can find help with the Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency (NMCAA).

Free Foreclosure Prevention Education workshops are available in NMCAA’s Traverse City, Petoskey and Cadillac offices. Homeowners will learn how to avoid foreclosure and about foreclosure programs that are available.

NMCAA, a certified HUD and MSHDA Housing Counseling Agency, will also educate homeowners about the foreclosure process and counsel families on budgeting for their personal financial situation.

Homeowners do not have to be within the actual foreclosure process to access these services – many are available to assist before a crisis actually occurs to keep the clients out of the foreclosure process altogether.

For details call (231) 947-3780 or (800) 632-7334. NMCAA’s web site is www.nmcaa.net.
