Saturday, April 5th at 10:00 am
Tracy City Council Chambers
333 Civic Center Drive in Tracy

All financially troubled homeowners throughout the Northern San Joaquin Valley are invited to attend the free event.

Free one-on-one counseling will be provided by lending specialists.  They will review each homeowner's finances and loan documents to suggest strategies for avoiding foreclosure.
