Refer a Family to Us

Quick reference for community partners routing a post-foreclosure family to Family Foreclosure Foundation. Everything you need to send a family our way with confidence — service area, response time, intake methods, and a tested script for the family.

Who Family Foreclosure Foundation can help

Send us any family who lost a home through foreclosure, tax sale, sheriff sale, or deed-in-lieu — at any point in the past, however long ago. Time of loss does not disqualify them.

✅ The family qualifies if

They lost a home to foreclosure (any type · any year · any state)
A family member who lost a home has passed away (heir / personal rep can engage)
They were on the deed at the time of loss (or are an heir of someone who was)
They want help · we never push services on anyone
They speak English or Spanish (more languages coming)

🎯 What we provide

Free legal case evaluation · contingency-attorney referral
Housing stabilization + emergency rental placement support
Lost Funds & Benefits — help reclaiming money that already belongs to the family (lost 401(k)s · unclaimed property · uncashed tax refunds · pensions · and more)
Credit and financial recovery counseling
Pathways back to homeownership · second-chance financing
Job placement + reskilling

⚠️ What we are not

NOT a fee-charging recovery firm — we charge families nothing
NOT an emergency shelter (we route to HUD + Salvation Army + 211 for that)
NOT a crisis counselor (we route to 988 + 211)
NOT a payday lender or debt-consolidation service
NOT requiring religion, employment, or political alignment

What to tell the family

Tested script · adapt to your tone · families respond well to "no fees · no catch · no pressure."

"There's a 501(c)(3) applicant nonprofit called Family Foreclosure Foundation that helps post-foreclosure families for free. They're not a fee-charging recovery firm — they charge families nothing. They help families reclaim lost funds and benefits, find housing, get free legal help, and rebuild credit. They serve families anywhere in the country.

You can apply on their site at familyforeclosurefoundation.org/apply — there's a chat that asks a few questions and a coordinator follows up within 24–48 hours. Or call (832) 791-4709. There is no obligation, no cost, and they keep your information private."
