Homesave – Make your Mortgage Payments Affordable!
Feb 19, 2010 - Housing, Mayor's Office
For 5 days this month the non-profit Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America will hold an all day and all night event (24 hours per day) at the Palm Beach County Convention Center open to everyone in Palm Beach and Broward Counties who has an unaffordable mortgage or who wants to purchase a new home but is having difficulty obtaining financing. Literally HUNDREDS of servicers and lenders will be on site including the first ever INSTANT SAME DAY restructuring by Bank of America, Wells Fargo, CitiMortgage and more. Several workshops will be held throughout the city and county PRIOR to the Convention Center event and will help to speed procesing of applications.
NACA is hosted by the City of West Palm Beach. This is a unique opportunity for home owners as participation is NOT based on mortgage status, income level or current value of home but property must be owners primary residence.
Many families’ mortgages have been reduced to interest rates as low as 2% thru the restructuring efforts of this nonprofit group. NACA is the largest and most effective nonprofit HUD certified home ownership advocacy organization in America. Their website is naca.com. The Service is Free.
You will need the following materials to participate:
The DOCUMENTS needed are going to be 30 days of consecutive check stubs , signed hardship letter, homeowner insurance, property tax information, mortgage statement, any other proof of income (SSI, rental, pension)… for Self Employed will also need 6 month bank statements and a Year to Date Profit & Loss Statement.

Feb 12, 2010 - Construction Services, Mayor's Office
Area Surrounding the Building will be Off-limits to the Public
(Wednesday, February 10, 2010) The City of West Palm Beach is proceeding with plans to monitor and assist with the implosion of the 1515 South Flagler condominium building. The implosion is scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. The implosion is being performed by Advanced Explosives Demolition, Inc. The prime contractor on the demolition is the BG Group.
In the interest of public safety, the area immediately surrounding the building will be off-limits to the general public beginning at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 14. The public will not be permitted within 750 feet of the building and the roads in that area will be closed to traffic.
Because the 1515 South Flagler building is located in a residential area, there is no public parking immediately adjacent to the site. City-owned parking garages in the downtown area will be open. People who wish to view the implosion in person are reminded to stay off private property (including lawns of people’s homes), to avoid obstructing any area roadways and to follow all vehicle parking rules and regulations.
Police sirens will sound for 15 seconds on three occasions: 10 minutes prior to the implosion; 5 minutes prior to the implosion; and, 1 minute prior to the implosion.
Beginning at 6:00 a.m. on the morning of February 14, Flagler Drive will be closed to thru traffic from Lakeview Avenue south to Barcelona Road. The road is expected to reopen no later than noon. No traffic will be permitted within 750 feet of the 1515 South Flagler building and all roads within 750 feet of the building will be closed. Also beginning at 6:00 a.m., additional roads in the immediate surrounding area of the building will be open for local traffic only but closed to thru traffic.
If you reside within 500 feet from the 1515 Condominium (within the shaded area on Map 1), for your safety, you are being asked to leave your home by 6:00 A.M. on the morning of the 14th.
