Wayne County Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Program |
| |
 Wayne County in August will launch (12) free workshops to address soaring mortgage foreclosures. These workshops are different because the Wayne County Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Program offers legal intervention, as well as counseling, education and other tools for saving a home at or in foreclosure. Wayne County will also be linked to a powerful collaboration network of HUD- and MSHDA-certified counseling agencies to analyze cases and recommend viable options to avoid mortgage foreclosure. Experts insist the key to avoiding foreclosure is to get involved! The program is open to anyone. Refreshments will be available.
The first workshops are scheduled for Aug. 5 (4:30 p.m./7:30 p.m.) at the WCCC western campus (9555 Haggerty, Belleville), and Aug. 7 (4:30 p.m./7:30 p.m.) at the WCCC eastern campus (5901 Connor, Detroit) | Download event flyer

National Transportation Week (NTW) |
| |
 Mock accident drives effort to teach
safe driving values. Sadly, teens and cars are often a deadly combination. The reality is that thousands of families are impacted by a teen’s decision to steer and text-message, use a cell phone, fool around at the wheel or drink and operate a car. Nearly 3,500 young drivers (ages15-20) died in 2006, according to the National Transportation Safety Administration.
