Losing a home isn’t always one bad financial decision. Sometimes it’s about not having the resources, information, or support to know what to do next. In 2017, Jen’s mom lost the house Jen grew up in to foreclosure after eight years without making a mortgage payment. Today, Jen and Jill share what happened, what might have prevented the loss, and what every homeowner can do to protect their home.
