Auritt Communications Group, Inc. has received the 2016 National Communicator Award of Distinction for their work on a public service announcement for NeighborWorks.

Chosen from hundreds of submissions nationwide, the PSA, entitled Loan Modification Scam Alert, educates homeowners about mortgage and loan modification scams.

Produced in conjunction with Fleishman Hillard’s Washington, DC office, the Loan Modification Scam Alert PSA raises awareness of the dangers that loan modification or foreclosure “rescue” companies pose that can result in loss of money and even homes.

The outreach encourages homeowners in dire need of financial help with their mortgages to seek out other options.
