Statewide ‘FLASH’ Hotline
For those in pre-foreclosure status looking for pro bono legal assistance, a pro bono attorney may be able to negotiate with your lender in an effort to avoid foreclosure and allow you to remain in your home. The toll-free Hotline number is (866) 607-2187. The Tampa Tribune published an article on the ‘FLASH’ program. You must call between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. This program prioritizes those seeking to save owner-occupied ‘homesteaded’ property, for folks who are currently ‘economically disadvantaged.’ Contact the program for further details.
