Many homeowners struggle to keep their homes due to mortgage servicing errors, predatory practices, and economic pressures such as rising costs and stagnant wages. These challenges disproportionately impact low-income households, communities of color, older adults, and monolingual Spanish speakers, threatening families’ stability and ability to build intergenerational wealth.
Public Counsel’s Consumer Rights & Economic Justice Project helps homeowners understand their rights, avoid foreclosure, and correct mortgage servicing mistakes. We also advocate for policies that protect homeowners and support housing stability at the local, state, and federal levels.
