  • Call Save the Dream at 888-404-4674.
  • Create a budget, cut spending, and save money.
  • Work with your housing counselor or attorney to negotiate a refinance, loan modification, or other solution with your servicer.
  • If foreclosure is unavoidable:
    • Begin looking for safe, affordable housing immediately but do not move out of your home without first consulting a housing counselor or attorney.
    • Contact the Ohio Benefit Bank to see if you are eligible for additional assistance.
    • Meet with a nonprofit credit counselor to help you repair your finances.
