St. Petersburg Neighborhood Housing Services (SPNHS) is funded in part through the National Foreclosure Counseling Program and has provided FREE foreclosure prevention counseling to over 1200 homeowners in Tampa Bay during the past two years. This program was developed to assist the large number of homeowners behind on their mortgages due to the devastating effects of the current economic recession.A recent government survey of 400,000 homeowners who sought FREE foreclosure prevention counseling through the program found that over 76% were able to keep their homes. Troubled mortgage holders are strongly encouraged to seek counseling early to have the best chance of avoiding foreclosure. There is no need to pay a private company for these services.To provide you the best chance of avoiding foreclosure, we recommend you complete our Three Step Program.The SPNHS HomeOwnership Center is an innovative approach to providing all the services and training that customers need in one location to shop for, purchase, rehabilitate, insure and maintain a home. Customers include renters, first-time homebuyers, and homeowners in need of affordable financing for housing renovation or repair.SPNHS uses a system that enables local partners, including lenders, insurers, construction specialists, government agencies, and non-profit organizations to work together in providing homeownership opportunities for families who might not qualify for - or know how to obtain - conventional mortgages.This is a comprehensive system for homebuyer development to assist families into homeownership and help ensure their long-term success as homeowners.
