Predatory Lending and Foreclosure Prevention

In partnership with Racine County, Milwaukee County UW-Extension offers education and outreach activities designed to combat rising foreclosure rates and help
participants to become savvy loan product consumers. Education is focused on:

• Increasing consumer and community partner awareness
• Building knowledge, skills and practices surrounding predatory lending and foreclosure to ensure preservation of homeownership and build awareness of predatory lending characteristics
• Developing proactive workshops, community resource enhancement and local,
  state and national collaboration surrounding predatory lending prevention and foreclosure
  prevention.

leading to successful homeownership, with the goal of enhancing economic stability for
Milwaukee’s families.
