The Houston housing market was able to stay out of the jaws of the recent recession, but many of the city’s residents did not escape unscathed.
In an effort to help keep history from repeating itself, the local broadcasting company of PBS Channel 8 will be hosting “’Facing the Mortgage Crisis,’ a community engagement initiative designed to connect area residents to trusted foreclosure prevention resources.”
Highlights of the program will include short, informative TV “spots” that will answer all of homeowners questions about topics like interest rates, collection notices and more.
An extended version of this on-air Q and A will show on August 4th from 7-8pm. Hosted by Emmy-award winning producer Patricia Gras, “Facing the Mortgage Crisis: A HoustonPBS Town Hall Meeting” will feature specialists form nonprofit organizations guiding viewers through issues related to the mortgage crisis. Volunteers will also be taking calls and emails with viewer’s questions during the program.
