Michigan Foreclosure Task Force
The Michigan Foreclosure Task Force is a statewide clearinghouse and unified voice to keep families, including homeowners and renters, in their homes despite the foreclosure crisis currently plaguing Michigan communities. The Task Force also is focused on addressing the impacts of concentrated foreclosures on neighborhoods across the state.
Task Force members include:
- housing counseling agencies,
- legal service providers,
- nonprofit organizations,
- state and local government agencies and officials,
- lenders,
- community development corporations,
- private sector partners, and
- individuals who are committed to protecting consumers and helping distressed communities.
By creating and leveraging resources and advocating for proactive policies and programs, the Task Force seeks to reduce the number of foreclosures and revitalize communities.
