NAHREP, Freddie Back Housing Survival Guide

The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and Freddie Mac are co-sponsoring a new housing-crisis survival guide titled "The American Nightmare: Strategies For Preventing, Surviving and Overcoming Foreclosure." Written by housing counselors Sylvia Alvarez and Walter Walker Jr., the book offers consumers a step-by-step analysis of the obstacles people face in foreclosure and the practical solutions available to them. "Too many times, people are doing nothing to save their homes simply because they don't know their options," said Rebecca Gallardo-Serrano, chairman of NAHREP. Latinos have been disproportionately affected by the foreclosure crisis and stand to lose about $94 billion in personal wealth, the association said.
