Community Housing Services Foreclosure Program

Jon Polansky and Sandi Brantner, HUD Foreclosure Counselors at CSC.



A Foreclosure counseling client recently said “It was a miracle. We were just one day away from losing our home to foreclosure when a friend gave us a number they had seen on a CSC brochure. We called CSC in sheer desperation and by the next morning foreclosure counselors had contacted our bank. Not only were they able to get the foreclosure stopped but they advocated for us and we were able to modify the loan terms to half the interest rate we had been paying. We couldn't even get the same person at the bank to talk to us. We are in our home today because of Jon Polansky and the Foreclosure program."

Although most of the problems are not as dramatic and not all foreclosure issues will be resolved in this way, Jon Polansky and Sandi Brantner, from CSC’s Community Housing Services Foreclosure Program, know banking, loan, and foreclosure issues. Because they have HUD training in foreclosure and have backgrounds in lending, they know the language. They can help you see all your options and advocate on your behalf. If you would like to talk to a foreclosure counselor, call (541) 758-2630.
