"The HOP Center is offering a vital service to disabled individuals, including veterans, by providing rescue loans to allow those in a crisis to remain in their homes, said Rob Greenlee, Executive Director of the Greenlee Foundation, Lafayette, Colorado. "It is both cost effective and more humane to help these homeowners avoid foreclosure while they cope with a temporary financial crisis."

Rob Greenlee, Executive Director, presented a check for $5,000 to The HOP Center along with a commitment for an equal donation in 2008.

The HOP Center is the only organization focusing exclusively on the needs of disabled homeowners and those facing a temporary medical crisis. It offers financial assistance to disabled homeowners through its Foreclosure Rescue Loan (FRL) program for the Disabled, a fixed rate low interest loan. Clients are disabled homeowners who have the best chance of stabilizing their situation and repaying this hardship loan.

HOP will provide qualified clients with rescue loan funds to bring their mortgage payments current until they can stabilize their situation, remain in their homes and resume payments.
