In the Homeowner Advocacy Unit, student attorneys learn to represent borrowers who have been victims of mortgage fraud or are facing wrongful foreclosure. The unit, established in 2011, is made possible through a three-year grant from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.

The program provides a valuable public service while training new attorneys in the skills needed to become effective advocates on behalf of distressed homeowners.
 

The Homeowner Advocacy Unit accepts clients referred by the Arizona Foreclosure Task Force as well as other community organizations who work with distressed homeowners.
 

 In addition to helping distressed homeowners, the HAU works on public education and outreach efforts with community groups. These efforts include presentations on foreclosure and mortgage-related matters to community groups as well as Continuing Legal Education presentations for attorneys who are seeing more clients with mortgage-related legal issues.
 

 If you are a homeowner with mortgage problems or are facing foreclosure, please contact the Arizona Foreclosure Task Force for assistance at 1-877-448-1211 or visit the task force website at www.azforeclosureprevention.org.
