Help for families facing foreclosure

The Mayor of Pawtucket and the state's Attorney General are announcing a new program to help families who may be in danger of losing their homes because of foreclosure.

James Doyle, Patrick Lynch, and representatives from housing advocacy groups are scheduled to meet this morning in front of a formerly foreclosed, vacant property in Pawtucket to announce details of an upcoming forum sponsored by the Blackstone Valley Foreclosure Assistance Forum.

"As the housing crisis deepens and more and more of our homeowners find themselves facing foreclosure," Lynch said in a statement, "it's imperative to provide information as soon as possible to help navigate the myriad challenges ahead."

The forum will include seminars on legal, consumer protection and financial issues; participants will also have an opportunity for one-on-one sessions with professionals.

The free forum is scheduled for June 7 and will be held at Jenks Junior High School from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
