Home Ownership Protection for Elders

CCSLS developed the Home Ownership Protection for Elders (“HOPE”) program.  The goal of this initiative is to protect seniors from losing their homes and/or equity due to debt, scams, and elder abuse. This free service consists of a free “homeowner checkup,”  a one-hour appointment to educate homeowners about the following topics:

• Credit Reports
  Access your credit report to identify debt, errors and signs of identity theft.
• Eligibility for the Tax Postponement Program
  Postpone payment of property taxes.
• Homestead Declaration
  Protect your home’s equity from creditors.
• Safe Estate Planning
  The perils of adding children to deed, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives, risks associated with reverse mortgages and more!
