This initiative is part of Ocwen’s continued efforts to bring responsible mortgage solutions to struggling homeowners in their local communities across the U.S.
"Not everyone has benefited from the improvements in the economy. Ocwen remains committed to its long-established practice of working with respected non-profit organizations that offer expert advice and relief to Ocwen borrowers who need a solution to maintain the dream of owning their home,” said Jill Showell, Senior Vice President of Government and Community Relations at Ocwen.
