Connecticut Foreclosure Mediation, Notice to Homeowner or Religious Organization (For cases with a Return Date of 10/1/2011 or later) is a program created to assist homeowners facing foreclosure. The program involves the homeowner being served a notice which provides an opportunity to enter into mediation with the lender to try to reach a resolution of the foreclosure matter. The notice informs the homeowner of their right to mediation and informs them of the availability of a religious organization representative who can provide assistance in the mediation process. The notice also provides information on the Return Date, which is the date on which a decision must be made, either to enter into mediation or to proceed with the foreclosure. There are two types of Connecticut Foreclosure Mediation, Notice to Homeowner or Religious Organization (For cases with a Return Date of 10/1/2011 or later). The first type is for homeowners who receive a Notice to Appear in Court on the Return Date. The second type is for homeowners who receive a Notice of Right to Mediation on the Return Date.
