03/16/09 - Evans says decision to halt foreclosure
sales kept 3,500 families in their homes long enough to take advantage of Obama
plan.
At least 3,500 Wayne County families were spared from having their homes
sold at foreclosure sales long enough to have the opportunity to take advantage
of President Obama's Homeowner Affordability and Stability Program (HASP), Sheriff
Warren Evans announced today. On February 2nd, Evans announced a stoppage of foreclosure
sales in Wayne County and none were held on the scheduled dates of February 4th,
5th, 11th, and 12th, 2009 in anticipation that federal relief was forthcoming. » continue

02/02/09 - Evans halts sale of foreclosed homes
- Sheriff says move is necessary to ensure homeowners’ rights
- Federal bailout act protections preempt State foreclosure law, Evans says
Today I will be stopping all mortgage foreclosure sales in Wayne County, beginning
with the sale that was scheduled for this Wednesday.
I am doing so because its my opinion that recently enacted federal laws provide
protections for homeowners facing foreclosure.
To proceed with sales without assuring that homeowners have been able to avail themselves
of those protections would put me in a position of violating federal law.
The Troubled Asset Relief Program known as TARP that was approved by Congress last
fall requires the Secretary of the Treasury to implement a plan to mitigate foreclosures.
That includes encouraging servicers of mortgages to modify loans to enable homeowners
to stay in their homes. »
