The federally chartered community development group in Washington tabbed by Congress to administer the national foreclosure counseling program, is searching for PR help for a campaign to alert consumers about loan modification scams in the housing market.
NeighborWorks America has an RFP open through March 17 for a contractor to develop and implement a communications plan to alert homeowners about mortgage rescue scams and how to report them. The organizationotes more than 37K scams have been reported through its ongoing campaign with an average net loss of $13,200.
An 18-month PR pact is expected.
NWA was set up in 1978 under a congressional charter as the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation. Congress in 2007 gave it oversight of the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program.
