Ocwen Joins Northwest Side Housing Center in Celebrating 12 Years of Community Empowerment
May 08 2015 - 4:02PM
Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE:OCN), a leading
financial services holding company, joined the Northwest Side
Housing Center (NWSHC) and other Chicago-area community leaders to
honor all those working to empower the local community at last
night's Celebrate Home annual NWSHC fundraising dinner.
The evening, which featured dinner and an awards presentation,
began with opening remarks by James Rudyk, Executive Director of
NWSHC and founding member of Ocwen's Community Advisory Council
(CAC), a diverse group of non-profit housing counseling, community
development and civil rights organizations that collaborates on
critical housing issues and works toward maintaining open lines of
communication between mortgage servicers, borrowers and local
communities.
Ronald Faris, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ocwen,
also spoke during the event, sharing with the packed room the story
of Ocwen's long-standing history of support for the NWSHC – from
back in the early days when the organization operated out of a
church basement, to its recent relocation made possible by a
generous grant from Ocwen to assist with the financing of new
office space.
"We find that working together with organizations like Northwest
Side Housing Center is the best way to help homeowners find
long-term solutions to their housing challenges and create
stability in neighborhoods," said Faris. "We're proud to say that
Ocwen's principal reduction modification has helped thousands of
homeowners in Chicago who saw their homes lose so much value during
the housing crisis. But the commitment of Northwest Side Housing
Center has been an integral part of the success of this product.
Counselors at the NWSHC offer critical support to homeowners during
every step of the mortgage modification process, ensuring that
families can keep their homes and remain in their community."
The event – NWSHC's largest ever – was attended by over 500
community members, NWSHC funders, partner organizations,
neighborhood leaders, national and local banks, and others working
to make a difference in the Chicago area.
