 Foreclosure Awareness
The Public Education Program sponsored by the Alabama Broadcasters Association is a true service to the citizens of Alabama and shows how broadcasters are committed to providing programming that informs and educates listeners and viewers. Every day we learn about more people who have lost or are in the process of losing their homes to foreclosure. The Alabama State Bar and Legal Services Alabama formed a unique partnership to provide free legal services to any homeowner, regardless of income, to help save their home. AL-BA members participating in PEP broadcast the number of the toll-free hotline that was established and today, as a result, more than 1,000 Alabama homeowners have been helped by lawyers who are answering hotline calls. This means they can stay in their home and not have to worry. Without the PEP we could not have helped render this service. It just shows the power of broadcasting.
