When our veterans return from service or deployment, the last thing they should have to worry about is their housing circumstances. Yet, too many soldiers return home to find themselves unable to pay for their own residency. In these tough economic times, many families face foreclosure through no fault of their own. It’s inexcusable that veterans have to battle with banks for a fair hearing after returning home.
The National Association of REALTORS® created a program designed to support military families avoid foreclosure and keep their homes. Operation Home Relief has helped countless service members — whatever the circumstances — become educated about foreclosure and be able to pay their mortgages.
Over the years our warriors have sacrificed greatly to protect our freedoms and liberties.When they come home, we should make every effort to give them the community support needed to kick-start back into civilian life, including ensuring they don’t lose the homes they bought prior to entering the military, and face foreclosure when returning home from fighting a war on our behalf.PLEASE take a moment and click on the above site to sign this petition.It is the least we can do to help in some small way…
