Content available to homeowners via ""HPF's new website"":http://www.995hope.org mirrors the information available to consumers by phone via the 24/7 hotline, including: step-by-step details on the foreclosure process, an overview of alternative lender solutions, a glossary of mortgage- and foreclosure-related terms to help homeowners ""speak"" their lender's language, details on government mortgage relief programs, and information on how to avoid mortgage scams.

HPF says new functionality added to its online presence will enable the organization to better track and measure changing homeowner sentiment on news, economic trends, and national policy issues that affect their financial lives.

""[O]ur new website reflects our commitment to maintain the trust and confidence of the people we strive to help by ensuring they can more readily find the information they seek,"" said Colleen Hernandez, CEO of the D.C.-based nonprofit counseling organization.

Hernandez noted that in addition to providing information to homeowners, the new site now gives them an opportunity to share information with HPF.

The organization has added a polling function to enable homeowners to ""have their say on national economic and housing issues that impact their financial health and future outlook,"" Hernandez said.
