CSU Dominguez Hills to Host
South Bay Housing Foreclosure Prevention Fair
WHAT: South Bay Housing Foreclosure Prevention
Fair
WHEN: Saturday, May 17, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
WHERE: Loker Student Union,
California State University, Dominguez Hills, 1000 E. Victoria

(Carson, CA)—California
State University, Dominguez Hills is partnering with Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s Interdepartmental Task Force on Non-Traditional
Mortgages and the Los Angeles Neighborhood Housing Services’ Center
for Foreclosure Solutions to host the South Bay Housing Foreclosure
Prevention Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, in
the Loker Student Union on campus.
Since 1984, the not-for-profit LA Neighborhood Housing Services
(LA NHS) has served over 1.5 million families, developed and rehabilitated
over 8,200 housing and commercial units, established 160 block
clubs, and educated and counseled over 80,000 homebuyers and families.
Recognizing the threat that foreclosure
rates pose, the community service organization recently established
the Center for Foreclosure
Solutions with support from NeighborWorks® America and numerous
local businesses and agencies. With this effort LA NHS intends
to counsel and educate families, providing appropriate lending
and real estate solutions, to help minimize the number of foreclosures
in Los Angeles.
There have been many workshops hosted throughout
the state and Los Angeles, but the foreclosure prevention fair
at CSU Dominguez
Hills will be the first of its kind in the South Bay. According
to the Governor’s Interdepartmental Task Force on Non-Traditional
Mortgages, the South Bay region of Los Angeles County is being
hit hard by the mortgage crisis, especially in the coastal communities.
The university partnered with LA NHS and others to bring this fair
to the area in order to assist local residents threatened with
losing their homes.
The fair prevention workshop is FREE; lenders and banks will not
be selling their service. This is an educational fair to prevent
and assist those facing foreclosures. Congresswoman Laura Richardson
(D-Carson), Assemblyman Warren Furutani (D-55th) and Assemblyman
Ted Lieu (D-53rd) are supporting this event.
Space is limited. For reservation or more for information, call
(213) 381-2862 or e-mail counseling@lanhs.org.

CSU Dominguez Hills is located at 1000 E. Victoria St. in Carson.
For this event, attendees are advised to park in Lot 3, off Tamcliff
Street/Toro Center Drive and Victoria Street.
