As the pandemic drags on, time is running out for many homeowners. People with loans in forbearance have to resume payments this year, likely as soon as the end of March.
It leaves many borrowers with difficult choices either find the money to pay their mortgage, refinance if possible, convince their lender to ease the terms of their loan, or default.
When decision time comes at the end of the current foreclosure moratoriums, millions of people could lose their homes.
To the Editor,
On 3/13/19, the Watertown Housing Commission, led by Chairman Mark Raimo, adopted a procurement policy that conformed with state statutes, requiring competitive bids for professional services.Â
On 10/30/20, Chairman Raimo and the Commission terminated the WHA employees to hire crony Propertyworx as the WHA property manager, without using the competitive bid process.
On that same day, the WHA attorney contacted the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority about the issue of the improper procurement of Propertyworx.Â
They knew there was an issue, but went ahead anyway. The WHA attorney referred to Propertyworx as the new management company. The word âinterimâ appears nowhere. After CHFA called the WHA Commission out on their improper actions, newly hired Town Manager Raimo was forced to term his crony hire âinterim.â

FRANKLIN For Franklin resident Jocelyn Constant, the town doesn’t need to have an affordable housing plan, and that anyone who is working can make rent in the town.
“Personally, I think people need to start living within their means, and not look for handouts,” Constant said.
Like other municipalities throughout the state, Franklin is currently working on an Affordable Housing Plan, which is a state requirement. In Franklin, residents are being surveyed on the matter. Carly Holzschuh, Franklin town planner and a planner for the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, said it was first posted to the town’s website back in December, but the survey has gotten more attention after the town sent a postcard flyer last week.
