About Us

The ROOF (Real Options Overcoming Foreclosure) Project grew out of a collaboration between the City of New Haven, the Yale Law School Clinic, and community organizations, including the Greater New Haven Community Loan Fund and Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven. It relies on a network of existing groups, community organizations, faith-based groups, and public and private resources.

The ROOF Project
is a coordinated response to the growing mortgage foreclosure crisis in New Haven.  We raise awareness of foreclosure issues, coordinate assistance to at-risk borrowers, and develop strategies to stabilize neighborhoods with a concentration of foreclosures. For more information on ROOF Project goals and activities, see Outreach and Assistance and Neighborhood Stabilization.
