JALA and housing partnership save couple’s home from foreclosure
Facing foreclosure on their home, “Evan and Shayla Marks” came to JALA a few weeks prior to the pending sale date. Shayla had developed health problems that caused her to have to give up her job, and she was in the process of applying for Social Security disability. Meanwhile, she and Evan had fallen behind on their mortgage payments and had been trying to enter into a loan modification with their lender. But they were repeatedly told that their papers hadn’t been received. The court directed them to JALA for help.
