The project is a partnership between the Indiana Division of State Court Administration and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority. Under the project, local coordinators will work with facilitators, pro bono attorneys, lenders and homeowners to schedule and hold settlement conferences. Coordinators are responsible for contacting homeowners in foreclosure cases and ensuring they know about the settlement conference option. Settlement conferences are facilitated by judicial officers or approved attorneys with a background in mediation and mortgage foreclosure issues. The website features information for court administrators interested in creating a local settlement conference program, including forms, best practices and funding resources. It also provides resources for borrowers and attorneys.
