SBLS Client Speaks in NY Times Article on Fight Against Foreclosure

A New York Times article on efforts to fight the foreclosure crisis in Washington includes the perspective of South Brooklyn Legal Services ("SBLS," a program of Legal Services NYC)
client Aoah Middleton. Ms. Middleton began missing payments on her mortgage
in 2006 when her 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. She
spent a year trying to catch up, and could meet her obligations if her
interest rate were reduced. Instead, her home is scheduled to be sold
at a foreclosure auction this month. 

The Foreclosure Prevention Project
at SBLS continues to work closely with ms. Middleton to help prevent this sale.

The NYT article also details the work of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) chief Sheila C. Bair, an outspoken advocate for using part of government economic bailouts to help homeowners.
