Advocates Call On Lawmakers To Pass Robust Protections for Homeowners

Advocates are continuing their call for Maryland legislators to pass relief for homeowners, warning of a looming foreclosure crisis unless lawmakers take action. New foreclosures are currently halted in Maryland as a result of Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr.’s (R) stay on new notices of intent to foreclose ― but advocates with the Maryland Judiciary Task Force warn that some foreclosures that were filed before the start of the pandemic are still proceeding, and that some homeowners might not be aware of their own forbearance options.
