The Queen Works to Raise Foreclosure Awareness

While President Barack Obama and his team work on a foreclosure recovery plan, Queen Latifah, Wyclef Jean, and New York radio personality and actress Angie Martinez are trying to raise awareness of the issue. The three are participating in a bus tour of Newark, New Jersey on Wednesday to let homeowners know what resources are available to help with mortgage payments.

After the tour, Latifah, Jean, and Martinez will participate in a roundtable discussion with national and community leaders to delve further into the foreclosure situation. The event is sponsored by the HOPE NOW alliance -- an alliance of counselors, mortgage market participants, and mortgage servicers working to help as many homeowners as possible avoid foreclosure and stay in their homes.
