I.Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network Referral ProcessIndiana Foreclosure Prevention Network Referral ProcessIndiana Housing and Community Development Authority (“IHCDA”) in collaboration withthe administrator of the Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network (“IFPN”) Helpline,Affordable Housing Corporation (“Administrator”), has developed the following processfor referring IFPN cases to pro bono attorneys. Our goal is to ensure sufficientavailability of and efficient referrals to trained attorneys who can represent borrowers atcourt-ordered settlement conferences pursuant to I.C. 32-30-10.5.Success of the pro bono process depends on coordination between the IFPN and theIndiana Pro Bono Commission, the Pro Bono Districts (the “Districts”), the Pro BonoDistrict Plan Administrators, the Indianapolis Bar Association, and others involved inproviding pro bono legal services (collectively “Providers”).I.C. 32-30-10.5 Uniform Referral Process for Counselors and Attorneys (FromPre-Suit Notice to Settlement Conference)1) Client receives a Pre-Suit Notice from lender, indicating an impendingforeclosure.2) Client calls IFPN Helpline number indicated on Pre-Suit Notice.3) Administrator conducts initial intake and, within six (6) hours of client’s contactingthe Helpline, provides an IFPN Network Agency located in client’s county withclient’s information. If no IFPN Network Agency is located in the client’s countyor the IFPN Network Agency(ies) in the client’s county have no counseloravailability, Administrator adds client to IFPN database for selection by an IFPNNetwork Agency with counselor availability.4) Administrator shall see that client is selected by an IFPN Network Agency withintwo (2) business days of client’s call, unless circumstances (such as upcomingsettlement conference) require that client’s case be expedited. If client is not soselected within the allotted time period, Administrator shall be responsible forcounseling client. Administrator will provide a counselor with informationregarding whether a foreclosure case has been filed or if a client has requested asettlement conference.5) Counselor contacts client as soon as reasonably possible (but no more than two(2) business days) after receipt of referral to make initial determination of client’sneeds.6) Counselor should confirm with client information provided by Administratorregarding whether a foreclosure case has been filed or if a client has requested aCounselor Resource GuideLast Updated 2/23/111
