Big Boi and Mary J. Blige Help Spread The Word On Foreclosure Help

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This is a great use of celebrity power. Big Boi and Mary J. Blige are riding a bus trying to convince homeowners facing foreclosure to get help. So many homeowners go meekly into the night never talking to their lenders and trying to work things out.

Anything that gets homeowners facing foreclosure to seek help is good for us all.

I would call these two American Heroes for their efforts this weekend!

They tried to spread the word on Saturday when the Bringing Hope Home tour rolled into Atlanta in a blue and yellow bus plastered with 888-995-HOPE, the hotline for the foreclosure prevention group Hope Now Alliance, based in Washington, D.C.

It helped, too, to have Grammy winners Big Boi and Mary J. Blige on board.

“Anything they need from me, I’m here,” said Big Boi, an Atlantan and half of the duo OutKast. “I’d see all these boarded up houses and think ‘What’s going on?’”

The tour of hard-hit cities, including Newark, Miami and Cleveland, made Atlanta its second stop. During stops in Reynoldstown, Kirkwood and downtown, celebs and counselors warned about for-profit counseling scams and urged people to call free resource centers. The number of calls from Georgians to the Hope hotline more than doubled in 2008. via  ajc.com.
