DAYTONA BEACH - Starting July 19, homeowners facing new foreclosure actions on their homestead residences in Flagler, Putnam, St. Johns and Volusia counties will be referred to mediation.

Late last year, the Florida Supreme Court ordered courts to implement residential mortgage foreclosure mediation programs to help deal with the state's foreclosure crisis. Officials believe mandatory mediation will help homeowners stay in their homes while also keeping caseloads at bay.

DELAND Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division will provide information about the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships and Emergency Shelter Grant programs at three community meetings, including one in New Smyrna Beach at the Babe James Center.
