The $18 billion State Employees Credit Union, headquartered in Raleigh, is partnering with a nonprofit, government regulator and statewide broadcaster to help save more North Carolina homes from foreclosure.

The credit union has joined the Center for Responsible Lending, an affiliate of the $349 million Self Help Credit Union, the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks and Capital Broadcasting Corporation to launch the Fight NC Foreclosure media effort.

The campaign will use public service announcements to highlight the State Home Foreclosure Prevention Project, bringing North Carolinians an awareness of resources available to prevent foreclosures, the credit union said in an announcement. The project aims to significantly increase the percentage of NC homeowners who save their homes, and also prevent consumers from becoming victims of foreclosure scams, especially scams affecting those with subprime mortgages.
