On Saturday, May 17th at 10:00 a.m. in Plano, U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist-Texas) will host a homeownership promotion and foreclosure prevention seminar. This event is free and open to the public and the press. People may R.S.V.P. to SamJohnsonEvent@mail.house.gov, but it is not mandatory.
The seminar will take place in the Sunny Slope Room of the Plano Centre located at 2000 East Spring Creek Parkway in Plano.
“Homeownership embodies the American Dream. For years, most of America experienced a tremendous housing boom. Homeownership is at or near historic levels, with nearly 70 percent of Americans owning a home. However, with that home purchase comes serious responsibilities and significant obligations. The recent turmoil in the housing market coupled with the rising cost of living has left some with difficulties making their mortgage payments,” stated Johnson.
“To assist those in need of mortgage counseling, I am hosting a homeownership promotion and foreclosure prevention seminar. If you are in a situation where you are facing foreclosure, having difficulty making your mortgage payment, or you are looking to purchase your first home, I encourage you attend this event,” said Johnson.
“There has been a steady a rise in home foreclosures across our nation and unfortunately, North Texas is no exception. While the percentage of homes in foreclosure is still relatively low compared with places like California and Florida, it is a very serious concern to those in jeopardy of losing their home. I want to help those people as well as educate folks hoping to buy their first home to make sure that they can avoid predatory lenders and better navigate the home buying process,” concluded Johnson.
Johnson represents portions of Dallas and Collin Counties. To learn more about this event, contact the Congressman’s office in Richardson at 972-470-0892.
