Do Not Move Out Of Your Home!

I want to encourage those who are facing foreclosure or eviction (renters). First, I know this is a very emotional and stressful situation. I have a passion for the homeless and have a testimony of that pain. Secondly, I have researched a variety of housing resources and alternatives for those who are homeless or facing homelessness.  Pay attention to this next statement, " Do Not Move Out Of Your Home.”  I have heard countless experts repeat that statement.  Believe me when I say this,  "You must have faith in God and be hopeful, help is available.  "Listen, whatever dilemma brought you to this fork in the road does not matter, the foreclosure process is lengthy one. You could literally stop paying your mortgage today and it could take 2 or more years before the Sheriff’s sale and you are given a writ of eviction.  By the way, you must be evicted properly through the 36th District Court (The People’s Court).   Another note, Renters, same statement above applies to you as well.  Please do not be afraid to go to court, show up and tell your side of the story.  There are dishonest slum lords out there and many judges are aware and sympathetic to that fact.  Some landlords are delinquent in their taxes, have liens on their property, and have lost their home due to the foreclosure process; and will continue to collect rent from you.  You can find out the status of any Wayne county property.  Do your research and due diligence. Here are a few free websites to get you started on your search:

www.waynecounty.com/treasury (tax delinquent)
www.waynecountylandrecords.com (register of deeds)


In conclusion, there are a myriad of resources to help you. Remember, “Do Not Move Out Of Your Home.” I can go on and on, but I won’t.  I do know this one thing, there are compassionate people in Detroit who want to help and are willing to hear your side of the story.  You must take action now if you are homeless or facing homelessness.  The other side of “loss” is “recovery”.  You have not because you ask not. Thank God for a second chance.  Now breathe!
