Tampa on list for Chase home centers

Several Florida communities, including Tampa, are next in line for Chase homeownership centers, designed to help families struggling with their mortgage payments. Chase, the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYE: JPM), already has opened centers in the Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino County areas, and plans to have nine centers in California by the end of the month. They will serve borrowers who have a home loan serviced by Chase, Washington Mutual or EMC, which all are now part of JPMorgan Chase. The centers were created as a place for borrowers to sit down and discuss their situation face-to-face with trained loan advisers, so they can help families stay in their homes whenever possible, David Schneider, head of Chase mortgaging services, said in a release. Chase expects to open homeownership centers later this month in Tampa, Aventura, Miami, Fort Myers and Orlando. By the end of March, there will be 24 centers in cities around the country including in Washington, Atlanta, Detroit, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Denver, Chicago and Las Vegas.
