The local Homeownership Resource Center in South Carolina is holding workshops that will assist those in South Carolina foreclosure homes to speak one on one with a HUD approved counselor to find out more about what options are available to them. The clinic will only last for a day and will begin at 9 in the morning and end at four. The Homeowner Resource Center was approved for a grant to use for those with South Carolina foreclosure homes to be educated and counseled. It will also provide many other services to those who are facing financial troubles this year.

Over 500 of the residents who had foreclosures in South Carolina were able to save350 of their houses from foreclosure proceedings. In 2008, over 800 homeowners were helped through the day long counseling sessions. The large numbers only state how much the country is in need of help for this problem.

The Homeownership Resource Center is part of the Family Services Inc and is also a part of the nation wide NeighborWorks network. It holds a certification from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide full service counseling to homeowners. The intended counseling is specific to South Carolina foreclosure homes and those who are close to being faced with mortgage payments who are behind. If more states would get on the bandwagon and begin the same types of programs that are available to South Carolina foreclosure homes and their owners, there might be more homes saved.
