Anyone underwater on their mortgage or worried about foreclosure can learn about new options for homeowners at a presentation from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Round Lake Beach Cultural & Civic Center, off Hook Drive west of Route 83. Two new forgivable loan assistance programs can help homeowners stabilize their mortgage. I-Refi provides up to $ 50,000 to eliminate negative equity caused by the economic downturn, while the Hardest Hit Fund offers up to $ 35,000 to homeowners working toward regaining employment and financial stability.
