A ARP Foundation Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service, has several locations throughout the state to assist low- to moderate-income, with a particular focus on people 50 and over, in filing taxes.
It’s not uncommon for the AARP Foundation Housing Impact Team to receive letters, emails, and occasionally telephone calls from people age 50+ who are having trouble with their mortgage or may be facing foreclosure. After all, between 2007 and 2011 the foreclosure rate among people 50+ increased over 800 percent.
