Florida Mortgage and Foreclosure Assistance
Florida H.O.P.E. Task Force
The Florida state government, and Governor Crist, created the H.O.P.E. Task Force to provide as much mortgage and foreclosure help to Florida residents as possible. Florida has been hit arguably harder than any other state in the current housing crisis, and this task force is looking into how to prevent as many foreclosures as possible. The HOPE task force will review and closely analyze mortgage foreclosure data from all Florida cities.
