Information to Help You If You Are A Tenant or Homeowner Facing Eviction or Foreclosure
If your housing is being threatened by foreclosure, we STRONGLY recommend that you get information about your rights and assistance right away. Waiting may mean it is too late.
MAAPL does not as an organization work with individual cases, although some of our members do...but contacting MAAPL will not get you the help you need. This page is here to point you to resources and people who can assist you. PLEASE use this information and begin the struggle for your rights NOW!
