Arizona has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country. Thousands have lost their homes or face severe hardships in trying to retain them.

This Foreclosure Resource Center provides educational materials, helpful links, user-friendly resources, self-help tools and news and information on enforcement actions taken by the Attorney General’s Office. Additionally, you will find contact information to reach a HUD-approved housing counseling agency for legitimate housing assistance, at no cost.

Unfortunately, homeowners sometimes fall prey to scam artists or so-called foreclosure “rescue” or loan modification companies that claim they can help you save your home. These criminal predators take your money, can ruin your credit, and wipe out the equity you have in your home. The offers can look legitimate, but anyone guaranteeing results or charging upfront fees to “save your home” should be suspect.

The Attorney General’s Office is committed to protecting Arizona families as we navigate through the foreclosure crisis.
