Publisher: Bankrate, Inc. Creating a Safe Room in Your Home 
 Discussion about creating a so-called "safe" or "panic" room. Homeowners can use such rooms to protect themselves from intruders or from major storms. Topics include location of the room, access, communication when in the room, and secure doors. The article notes that windowless bathrooms and closets usually make the best safe rooms. From Bankrate, a site that provides financial interest rate information and stories about personal finance. http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/home-improvement/saferoom1.asp Topics: Home & Housing Last updated Feb 28, 2006 A Lifeline for Delinquent Mortgage Borrowers
This February 2008 article describes the public-private Project Lifeline, "billed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson as 'a targeted outreach to homeowners 90 days or more delinquent that may lead to a pause in the foreclosure process.'" This project "covers all residential mortgages, not just subprime loans. The project comprises six of the biggest mortgage servicers: Countrywide, Wells Fargo, CitiMortgage, Chase Home Finance, Washington Mutual and Bank of America."
