Magnificently restored, the former Tower Room is once again the jewel in the crown of Los Angeles City Hall. The room is atop the City Hall Tower, which rises 27 floors above Spring and Main Streets, and for decades was the tallest structure in Los Angeles. The restoration of City Hall following the Northridge Earthquake included the ornate ceiling decorations, art deco lighting fixtures, and huge windows looking out to an observation deck with 360 degree views over the city. Following its restoration, the room has been named in honor of Mayor Tom Bradley.

Are you struggling to make your mortgage payments?
Maybe you’re unemployed or earning less than before? Do you need to leave your home through a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure? Having trouble refinancing? Meet one-on-one with your mortgage company or a HUD-approved housing expert.
The Department of Corporations is pleased to participate in this great event “Help For Homeowners Event.” It is hosted by the Departments of the Treasury & Housing and Urban Development on April 16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center to help distressed homeowners. We encourage you to share the attached flier (in English and Spanish) with your colleagues and clients who may need this assistance. I will be there and hope to see you.
At the event consumers will have the opportunity to meet directly with their servicer, the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), housing counselors, and other resources that would be extremely helpful. They also have a short sale workshop for real estate professionals to hear from Treasury, the large servicers, and GSEs about specific short sale policies and procedures.
