SUPPORT ROBBINSDALE WOMAN IN RESISTING EVICTION
FROM FAMILY HOME

 

The Minnesota Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign is calling for community intervention in the imminent eviction of Linda Norenberg from the home in which she grew up. In addition, the MN Coalition for a People's Bailout as well as other organizations and institutions are coming together and showing their support.

 

Press Conference:
Wednesday, August 12, 11:00 am
Linda Norenberg's house: 2750 McNair Dr, Robbinsdale

 

The property has been in the family since 1938. Ms. Norenberg has sought advice and help from countless agencies after being given the run-around by the bank.

Linda's father built the home in 1944 on top a basement where the family had been living for two years. Her brother remembers,"I woke up one morning to sunshine overhead after dad had just removed the roof." Linda grew up there, and moved away to raise her family, returning to buy the home in 1997 after her father died. Always a pillar of her community, she currently is employed and the grandmother of three, great grandmother of three.

 

Due to job loss and lowered wages, Linda needed to refinance, first with a fixed rate mortgage. After the mortgagor kept calling with "wouldn't you like to lower your rate?" she refinanced to an ARM. Realizing that her "teaser" rate payments weren't paying down principal, she refinanced again in '03 at the same time that her income dropped. Falling into preforeclosure in November, '07, she applied for a loan remodification and was given a seven-month run-around before being notified that the sheriff's sale would take place December 10th, 2008. It wasn't until February, '09 that Chase bank told her the sale had taken place January 30th, '09.

 

Since July 30th when the redemption period ended, she has lost sleep in fear of

eviction. NOW IS THE TIME for all the community to show support.
