CDBG Impact on St. Louis County
Mortgage Foreclosure Data
There has been a great deal of media attention to foreclosures throughout the country and the state. Mortgage foreclosure rates have increased, but St. Louis County is not experiencing the number of vacant and damaged properties that is problematic in other areas. It appears that many of the foreclosures are directly related to the high number of refinanced mortgages which occurred over the past several years.
Lutheran Social Services, Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency and the Minnesota Homeownership Center provide counseling for homeowners. Information will be distributed on the workshops and the availablility of counseling.
State and local information regarding mortgage forclosures are provided in the links below:
