KAPOLEI, HI — This morning, more than a dozen key staff members of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), as well as representatives from the Prince Kuhio Federal Credit Union, Hawai’i USA Federal Credit Union, Kula No Na Po’e Hawai’i, and the Hawai’i Home Ownership Center, began an advanced level five-day training course on Foreclosure Intervention and Default Counseling Certification that is being conducted by NeighborWorks America designed for counselors with one or more years of experience providing one-on-one foreclosure intervention and default counseling.
Their participation in this rigorous, in-depth course covers critical elements of the default and foreclosure process as well as loss mitigation options for prime and sub prime loans. Throughout these training opportunities, participants will engage in exercises and utilize case studies which will sharpen their negotiating skills with servicers and improve their counseling methods with clients.
