Having trouble keeping up with your house payments? Will the next change in
your adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) put your monthly payments out of reach?
If so, get help now.

Take the advice of Maria Yaeger (AFSCME). "I know there are a lot of people
out there like me -- calm and professional on the outside when they're on
the job, but torn up inside about what's going on with their homes.

"Here's my tip -- don't lose your home because you're too embarrassed to do
something. Call the Union Plus Save My Home Hotline and get help from a
HUD-certified counselor."
