Has Your Home Been Taken From You? WCSH6: Occupy Maine takes on foreclosures

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Occupy Maine is continuing a trend seen at Occupations around the country that have focused in on the nation's housing crisis.

Occupy Maine has been out of Portland's Lincoln Park since February, but the group has continued to meet and work on social justice issues. One of the most important issues to Occupiers right now is foreclosure. They held a public forum Tuesday night where people could share their personal struggles with foreclosure. The goal is to try to pool resources and try to find housing solutions together.

"Pool our knowledge and pool our resources to make sure that each person has the best chance to either keep their home or find the best living situation that does fit their budget," organizer William Hessian said. "And it's just about searching for those answers together."

If you are facing foreclosure you can call the Foreclosure Prevention Hotline at 1-888-664-2569.
