State promotes new laws to help prevent foreclosures

With new state laws on the books to stem the tide of mortgage foreclosures, Maryland officials are mounting a campaign of mass transit advertising, mailings, billboards, radio spots and newspaper ads to encourage homeowners to seek counseling and refinancing help to avoid losing their houses.

“We?re not going to save every home, but we?re going to save as many homes as we can,” said Gov. Martin O?Malley as he announced the new campaign.
