Campaign Details: The St. Louis Campaign was launched on March 8, 2004. Beyond Housing/Neighborhood Housing Services is the lead agency and uses television, radio, billboard advertising and grassroots consumer education programs to warn residents about predatory lending in the five-county area. The campaign provides guidance to consumers on how to avoid predatory loans and legal assistance to those already in a bad loan situation. There is a loan rescue fund to provide interim financing to refinance predatory loans. The campaign also provides a curriculum and instructors to churches, neighborhood groups and other civic organizations across the St. Louis region.
