Congressman Hank Johnson, in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs' HomeSafe Georgia program, Rockdale County, and housing counselors the D&E Group, hosts the "Saving the Dream" event on Sept. 28 to help struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure.

The free event to help struggling homeowners will be held Saturday, 9 a.m - 3 p.m. at Springfield Baptist Church, 1877 Iris Drive SE, Conyers.

HomeSafe is designed to provide temporary assistance to Georgia homeowners who have suffered a substantial income loss due to involuntary unemployment or underemployment and who are able and willing to work.

The event will also provide opportunities for homeowners to meet with counselors to see if they are eligible for a loan modification.

To pre-qualify and to register, participants can call D&E at 770-961-6900 or visit their website at depower.org.
