    Hennepin County workshops to help homeowners facing foreclosure

    By Joe Kimball | Published Fri, Oct 24 2008 11:56 am

    In an effort to help homeowners facing foreclosure, Hennepin County Taxpayer Services is conducting free workshops at county libraries.

    Now, the presentation is available on video on the Hennepin County website, too.

    Three workshops will be held in coming weeks:

    • Saturday, Nov. 1, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Pierre Bottineau Library, 55 Broadway St. NE., Minneapolis.

    • Wednesday, Nov. 12, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Golden Valley Library, 830 Winnetka Ave. N.

    • Tuesday, Dec. 2, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Brooklyn Park Library, 8600 Zane Ave. N.

    For more information about the workshops, call Jeff Strand, Hennepin County Taxpayer Services, at 612-348-7870.

    Information and assistance for distressed homeowners is available from the Minnesota Home Ownership Center at 651-659-9336, toll-free at 1-866-462-6466, or on its website.

    Foreclosures in Hennepin County increased by 82 percent from 2005 to 2006 and by 84 percent from 2006 to 2007. So far this year, there have been 5,798 foreclosures — a 26 percent increase over 2007, compared with 1,670 in 2005.
