Foreclosure-Prevention Workshop in Oakdale

The Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) will host a mortgage foreclosure prevention workshop next month.

The workshop, set for 5:30-6:30 p.m. Monday, April 8, is offered to "anyone who wants to ask questions and get advice from trained foreclosure prevention counselors," according to a release from the county.

It will be held at the Oakdale Library, 1010 Heron Ave. N.

"Anyone who is behind on their mortgage, anyone who is worried about keeping up with mortgage payments, and anyone who wants to know more about the foreclosure process may attend," reads the release. "Those who are worried about foreclosure should seek help immediately. Waiting may limit the options."

No pre-registration is required for the workshop, which will include a 45-minute presentation summarizing the foreclosure process.

Participants will also have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a foreclosure prevention counselor.

People are encouraged to bring the following:

• any communication received from a lender or loan servicer;
• proof of income (e.g., recent pay stub); and
• a copy of a mortgage statement.
