Florida Attorneys Saving Homes
Foreclosure Prevention Project
Self-Directed Intake Form
This project is designed for Florida homeowners who are facing or fear the possibility of foreclosure. Since the initiation of the project, The Florida Attorneys Saving Homes project has received in excess of 10,000 calls and over 5,000 intake forms since the project was launched. Due to the overwhelming response, the number of homeowners needing assistance currently exceeds the number of volunteer attorneys available. As a result, we have implemented a waiting list for new applicants needing assistance. Should your application meet program requirements, you will be placed on the waiting list. Please note that it may take several months to move your case through our waitlist and assign you to an attorney. You are encouraged, if you have not already done so, to contact your local FREE housing counselor service. The lists of local FREE housing counseling offices can be found at the following Internet sites: the US Housing and Urban Development approved housing counseling agencies www.hud.gov or The NeighborWorks National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program. You may also want to access www.floridalawhelp.org for additional pro bono legal assistance or contact The Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service for a referral to an attorney for a low fee consultation (1-800-342-8011).
To be eligible for FASH help, you must meet these requirements:
1. You must be a Florida resident.
2. You must be applying for help with the home that you live in.
3. The program assists applicants who are financially disadvantaged.
4. The project is NOT designed to assist those who are already in foreclosure. It is extremely important that if you have been served with a foreclosure Summons and Complaint by a sheriff's deputy or process server that you contact your local legal aid office IMMEDIATELY. Your local legal aid office can be found at www.floridalawhelp.org website under "Find Local Assistance" at the top of that web page.

Please note that since this is a volunteer attorney program, we are unable to guarantee anyone an attorney. Please do not call the hotline or the Florida Bar after you have submitted a completed intake form as it will result in significant delay. We know that you are worried about saving your home and we will do our very best to help you.
