Who Can Help Homeowners?

When faced with tough times and the possible loss of their homes, many people do not realize that there are options out there for them. Often times, these people are made to feel by banks and other organizations that the only option they have is to find a way to pay all at once, or lose their homes.

With the economy taking such a big hit recently and the mortgage industry slipping and losing ground, this is an all too common fact. So many do not realize that there are answers out there, or where they may find them. Kirsty Sinsara knows exactly what that is like, and has helped many with this issue to find those answers they need.

“The biggest thing that the Consumer Advocacy Group does,” says President Kristy Sinsara, “is educate.” Many who have not ever heard of the group do not realize that there are even those out there who want to help. The Consumer Advocacy Group feels very passionately about helping those who have been hardest hit by the suffering housing market- those who have worked hard to buy a home.
 

Quite a number of those who have lost their homes did so because they did not realize that there were options out there, ways to make a change in things and potentially to keep their homes. “The biggest thing that the Consumer Advocacy Group does,” says President Kristy Sinsara, “is educate.”

Understanding what the Consumer Advocacy Group really is, can help people to realize just what a beneficial service they offer. The group is founded on educating the people about their options, yes, but also, actively lobbying for the changes to the existing system that has caused the problems in the first place.

Often, these losses can be avoided in simply knowing the options- and this is a big part of the group’s mission. However, the Consumer Advocacy Group also lobbies actively to see changes in the system that will better benefit the consumers as a whole, rather than the large banks and companies.

The Consumer Advocacy Group is also dedicated to a sort of circle of hope. Much of the work done is nonprofit, but there’s more to it than that. Through the program, many find a great deal of education and benefit from the assistance of the group but also, give back to their own communities. One of the programs involves giving either time or donations to local charities and being able to make a difference in the lives of others as well as getting back on their own feet.

When Kristy Sinsara noticed that there was a gap between the organizations that helped homeowners as well as a greater community need, the Consumer Advocacy Group created programs specifically geared towards not only that education, but bettering the community as a whole. It is in this way that the entire community becomes more involved and many have seen hope alive and flourishing for not only themselves, but for others, as well.
