About ForeclosureShield
ForeclosureShield was created with one goal: make it easier for homeowners facing foreclosure to find the help they need.
When you fall behind on your mortgage, the fear and confusion can be overwhelming. Where do you turn? Who can you trust? What are your rights? The answers exist — but they’re scattered across dozens of government websites, legal databases, and nonprofit directories. Most people don’t even know where to start.
That’s why we built ForeclosureShield — a single, free resource that brings everything together in one place.
What We Do
We research, organize, and present foreclosure prevention resources by state — including:
- State foreclosure laws and timelines — explained in plain language
- Your legal rights — what protections exist and how to use them
- HUD-approved counseling agencies — free, legitimate help near you
- Government assistance programs — state and federal programs that can pay your past-due mortgage
- Legal aid resources — free and low-cost attorneys for qualifying homeowners
- Credit repair guidance — how to rebuild after financial hardship
What We Don’t Do
We believe in being upfront about what ForeclosureShield is — and what it isn’t.
- We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice
- We are not a mortgage lender or loan servicer
- We do not sell your personal information
- We do not charge homeowners for access to our resources
- We are not affiliated with any government agency
We are an independent resource directory. The information on this site is for educational purposes and should not be considered legal or financial advice. Always consult with a qualified professional for guidance specific to your situation.
Why This Matters
Every year, hundreds of thousands of American families receive foreclosure notices. Many of them have options they don’t know about — government programs that could pay their past-due mortgage, legal rights that could delay or stop the process, and free counseling services that could help them negotiate with their lender.
But they don’t find these resources in time. Or they don’t know they exist. Or they fall victim to scams from companies promising to “save their home” for a fee.
ForeclosureShield exists to close that gap. Free information. Verified resources. No strings attached.
How We’re Supported
ForeclosureShield is free for homeowners. We sustain the site through:
- Affiliate partnerships — when we link to trusted services like credit repair companies, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you
- Advertising — relevant, non-intrusive ads from verified partners
- Featured listings — housing counselors and attorneys can pay for enhanced visibility in our directory
We only partner with services we’ve vetted. Our editorial content is never influenced by advertising relationships. If we recommend something, it’s because we believe it genuinely helps homeowners.
