[TGE-mail] Foreclosure Assistance

[Jerome G. Murry]

Dear TGE Residents:
 
(Attached is a letter that my office sent to many households in the 6th Ward
regarding foreclosure assistance. I have attached this letter in an effort
to inform you about local organizations that are contracted with the City to
provide assistance with those facing foreclosure. Should you have any
questions, please let me know. Kst)

Dear Neighbor:
 
I know times are tough these days.  The economy at this time is weak, job
growth has stalled and the price of everyday materials seems to rise each
week.  As your Alderwoman, I want you to know that I recognize the
situations at hand and I'm working hard to find solutions to our problems
facing our community.
 
One of the greatest fears many of us face is the prospect of losing our home
  The recent mortgage crisis has hit people all over the nation – regardless
of their income.  It is estimated that as many as 3,000 St. Louis homeowners
are at risk of foreclosure.
 
That’s why I'm pleased to inform you of recent legislation that will provide
up to $1,500 in mortgage payment and counseling assistance for those that
qualify.  These funds will be provided by the Affordable Housing Commission
and will partner participants with organizations throughout the city.  I
have provided contact information for each of these groups at the end of
this letter.
 
  Situations are often difficult and problems appear daunting, but I know we
will find progressive solutions through cooperation and open dialogue.  If I
can help you with this foreclosure relief program or any other concern you
may have about the 6th Ward, or with the city, in general, please do not
hesitate to contact my office at (314) 622-3287 or email me at
Triplettk at stlouiscity.
 
Proudly working for you and your family, 
 
Kacie Starr Triplett
Alderman of the 6th Ward
