If you are struggling financially, you are not alone. You can get help.
Recently the economic news across the country has not been good. Consumer prices are rising. Real estate prices are falling.
Foreclosures are up. Often this impacts renters too, who are forced to relocate when their landlords are forced into foreclosure.
Military members face many of these same challenges.
A new law allows the government to pay for some local moves when military members or their dependents are forced to move because their landlord is facing foreclosure. There are also a number of laws specifically designed to help military members when they face economic or legal difficulties.
Legal proceedings can be delayed. Military members generally cannot be evicted unless a court orders it. Mortgages can be renegotiated. Grants or low cost loans may be available.
If you are having problems making ends meet or are being forced to move from your rented home, you can get free, confidential help from a number of sources:
-- Your Installation Family Readiness/Support Center can provide financial counselors.
-- Your military legal assistance office can provide a licensed attorney. This web site will identify the military legal assistance office closest to you: http://legalassistance.law.af.mil/content/locator.php
