The attorneys will assess homeowner cases for fair lending violations, file cases for individual homeowners to prevent foreclosure, assist in the loan modification process, and assist former homeowners and tenants facing eviction from buildings that have been foreclosed on. The attorneys will also assist in the preparation of periodic grant reports. It is anticipated that three attorneys will be based in CLA’s Worcester office, three attorneys will be based in CLA’s Springfield office, and one attorney will be based in CLA’s Pittsfield office. The attorneys will also attend meetings in Boston and in the program’s other offices in central and western Massachusetts.
