Stop the Eviction of Jerry Ellis, UAW Retiree

ACTION: Make phone calls and send emails. Last month, our calls and emails to Caliber Home Loans and Orlans Associates stopped the imminent eviction of Jerry Ellis and persuaded Caliber to say that it would honor the agreement to sell him back his home for $70,000– twice its market value. Mr. Ellis has a pre-approval letter for a loan from Opportunity Resource Fund, the non-profit that will help Jerry buy back his home. But the loan process requires a letter from Caliber confirming its intent to sell the home back to Jerry, rather than evict. Neither Caliber nor Orlans has returned calls from Mr. Ellis or his lawyer since July, when they announced that Jerry would be evicted after August 19 if he didn’t come up with $70,000. (Case summary below)We need to flood Caliber and Orlans with calls and emails telling them to do the right thing:

Jerry Ellis is prepared to buy back his home for twice the value Caliber will otherwise get in this market, but the loan process at Opportunity Resource Fund requires a letter from Caliber confirming its intent to sell. Once this happens, Opportunity Resource Fund needs 45 days to process the application. We can’t stand by and watch another home go empty because of this company’s indifference to the needs of homeowners and communities.
