HAFA, the new government program, was implemented April 5 to help homeowners "underwater" with their mortgage. There are defined parameters as to what the lenders will accept and a timeline for when the contract needs to be approved or denied.

The seminars are designed to educate homeowners about HAFA and other steps they can take to avoid going into foreclosure.
