 Rep. Calvert (R-CA) will host a free Homeownership Preservation Workshop to provide information and counseling for homeowners who are in default on their mortgage. The workshop will take place at the Yeager Center at California Baptist University, 8432 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, from 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, January 10, 2009.

"Helping homeowners find a way to stay in their home is an issue of vital importance in our area," said Congressman Calvert in announcing the January 10th Workshop. "I'm pleased that the local partners have agreed to provide counseling and assistance to those who desperately need it. I urge Riverside County homeowners who are in default to take advantage of the opportunity."
