Mark your calendars now for NHS' upcoming annual meeting on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 at Jungle Island. Commemorating 30 years of homebuyer education and services, the luncheon will also feature keynote speaker Thomas Curry, who is Director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as well as Chair of the Board of Directors with NeighborWorks® America. NHS Board Members Maria Lee-Forbes and Beverly Kovach, and the annual meeting committee are gearing up for the event.

Reminder: In the mix of high-profile foreclosure activities, NHS' primary function remains homebuyer education, counseling and lending. We invite lenders to partner with us in our successful buyer preparation by referring potential borrowers to us for homebuyer education and counseling. While always willing to serve low-income families in need of help, NHS is also in the business of fast-track training and counseling for any potential homebuyer who requires minimal credit repair. For more information, contact Jackie Duran, Director of Homeownership Training and Foreclosure Intervention at 305-751-5511 ext. 227.

Hundreds of foreclosure prevention calls are coming in, thanks to Univision and CBS' Neighbor for Neighbors television broadcasting. Responding strategically, NHS is offering one-on-one intervention counseling as well as clinics throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. To read more about NHS' response, click here.

A 24-hour notification to NHS is required, to let us know how many people are coming.
