<P align=center><STRONG>Oakland Adopts a Comprehensive Foreclosure Prevention 
Package</STRONG></P>
<P>On October 16, the Oakland City Council approved a Comprehensive Foreclosure 
Prevention Package.<A title="" href="#_ftn1">[1]</A>&nbsp; The package includes 
door to door outreach to roughly 3,500 residents in risk of foreclosure.<A 
title="" href="#_ftn2">[2]</A>&nbsp; Residents in foreclosed properties will be 
referred to housing counselors and have access to legal assistance and a city 
team that will help advocate on behalf of borrowers to the bank.&nbsp; Tenants 
and homeowners will also learn about the rights that they have as a result of 
the passage of the Homeowners Bill of Rights<A title="" href="#_ftn3">[3]</A> 
and the Attorney General’s settlement. One of the most innovative parts of the 
plan is a pilot program called ROOT that will buy back homes for borrowers 
facing foreclosure and restructure the loans to be fixed rate and 
affordable.</P>
<P>The package was officially announced a week earlier in a press briefing by 
Mayor Jean Quan, Congressperson Barbara Lee and State Assembly person Nancy 
Skinner.<A title="" href="#_ftn4">[4]</A>&nbsp; This package is the culmination 
of a partnership among community organizations, service providers and the city 
of Oakland. Community organization in the Bay Area have been pushing for local 
strategies coming from the city to hold banks accountable and help keep people 
in their homes and this package is a good example of that.<A title="" 
href="#_ftn5">[5]</A></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P align=center><STRONG>Replicate Elsewhere?&nbsp; </STRONG></P>
<P>Many groups elsewhere have offered pieces of a program like this, but Oakland 
is a leader in creating a comprehensive package to help threatened 
homeowners.&nbsp; Another leader in this area and a model for parts of Oakland’s 
package is the <A 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighborhood_Assistance_Corporation_of_America">Neighborhood 
Assistance Corporation of America</A> (NACA);<A title="" href="#_ftn6">[6]</A> 
their “Save the Dream Tour” included week-long events in different cities to 
help distressed homeowners negotiate with the banks.</P>
<P>Activists with Occupy San José (OSJ) hope to help other organizations create 
political pressure for similar Comprehensive Foreclosure Prevention Packages 
elsewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.&nbsp; OSJ and the Green Party of Santa 
Clara County organized a <A 
href="http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/54238941/Foreclosure%20Summit">Foreclosure 
Summit, Sept. 15, 2012</A>, attended by roughly 50 people.&nbsp; The program 
focused on three key elements of foreclosure prevention:&nbsp; financial 
literacy, legal and political action.&nbsp; <A 
href="http://housing.org/">Project Sentinel</A>’s&nbsp; work in financial 
literacy was cited as making an important contribution to decreasing 
victimization of homeowners.&nbsp; <A href="http://spielbauer.com/">Thomas 
Spielbauer</A> discussed his work as an attorney representing distressed 
homeowners.&nbsp; CJ Holmes, founder of <A href="http://hofj.org/">Homeowners 
for Justice</A>, discussed what had been done politically and continuing 
needs.</P>
<P>Spencer Graves, lead organizer for the Summit, outlined the need for 
something like the comprehensive foreclosure prevention package just passed by 
Oakland.&nbsp; This includes a need to recruit volunteers to contact distressed 
homeowners, as Oakland is preparing to do.&nbsp; Graves further mentioned the <A 
href="http://www.sfassessor.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=1018%20">San 
Francisco Foreclosure Audit</A>, which “identified what appear to be one or more 
clear violations of law” in 84 percent of the 382 foreclosures studied.&nbsp; If 
84 percent of foreclosures anywhere involve clear violations of law, it suggests 
massive lawlessness on the part of major financial institutions.&nbsp; William 
K. Black, professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri – Kansas 
City and a lead litigator during the Savings and Loan crisis of 20 years ago, 
says we have <A 
href="http://www.nextnewdeal.net/2011-will-bring-more-de-facto-decriminalization-elite-financial-fraud">effectively 
decriminalized elite financial fraud</A>.&nbsp; This suggest a need for a system 
that will identify evidence of fraud and make that available to distressed 
homeowners and prosecutors.&nbsp; Without it, our current system of dealing with 
foreclosures seems to be one more example of crony capitalism, reviled by both 
the right and the left in the US today.</P>
