clipped from www.spokesman.com Program offers foreclosure legal help June 24, 2009 Thomas Clouse tomc@spokesman.com, (509) 459-5495 A new legal assistance program aims to help homeowners facing foreclosure. The Home Foreclosure Legal Aid Project is available to those who need legal advice to sort through the foreclosure process Penny Youde, executive director of the Spokane County Bar Association, said the local economy has had different challenges than elsewhere in the state. “We did not have the decrease in home values as much,” Youde said. “We haven’t noticed a lot more calls from people asking for that. But we are anticipating (more foreclosures) as people lose their jobs.” The Foreclosure Legal Aid Project is coordinated by the Washington State Bar Association. For more information, call toll-free (877) 894-HOME (4663) or go to www.wsba.org. For local legal help, contact the Spokane County Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Program at (509) 324-0144 from 1 to 5 p.m. Mondays or 1 to 4 p.m. Thursdays.
