NID Housing Counseling Agency Expands Use of HOPE LoanPort

California-based ""NID Housing Counseling Agency"":http://www.nidonline.org (NID-HCA), a program that counsels consumers, non-profits, public agencies, and faith-based groups on housing-related issues, now requires its counselors to use ""HOPE LoanPort"":http://www.hopeloanportal.org as the primary tool for submitting home retention applications to mortgage servicers.

selors in our network,"" said Jacqueline Carlisle, executive director of NID-HCA. ""It is perhaps the most complete Web-based loss mitigation tool currently available for bridging the gap between homeowners and mortgage servicers.""

NID-HCS will also expand its efforts to train counselors on the use of HOPE LoanPort.

NID-HCA started using HOPE LoanPort to assist struggling homeowners more than a year ago. Approximately 6 percent of all foreclosure prevention cases in the portal were submitted by NID-HCA, according to a statement from the companies.

""We're excited to be expanding our partnership with NID-HCA and elated they are happy with the system; their candid feedback has been important in fine tuning its development,"" said Larry Gilmore, CEO of HOPE LoanPort.

Gilmore added, ""NID-HCA's requirement of all counselor affiliates using this system will significantly impact the number of homeowners receiving assistance and demonstrates their true commitment as a partner in promoting change. It's a win-win situation for housing counselors and for the homeowners they serve across the country.""
