                                      March 1, 2011 - The Dane County Foreclosure Prevention Taskforce holds a weekly hour-long support group for homeowners threatened by, or experiencing, foreclosure. Groups are led by counselors from Edgewood College who help people develop ways to deal with the emotional fallout. This is a nice example of local educational institutions stepping up: Edgewood has a marriage and family therapy graduate training prorgram, and runs the Family Center, a community outreach center. The center provides the counsellors. The full story is here.
