Ocala, FL – April 2025
After losing their home in 2023, the Jackson family thought their financial struggles would continue indefinitely. But in early 2025, they were surprised to learn they were entitled to $46,000 in surplus funds from the foreclosure sale — money they used for a down payment on a new home.
“We were shocked — we had no idea that money existed,” said Angela Jackson. “It gave us a fresh start.”
Their story is now being used by foreclosure advocates to raise awareness about the often-overlooked opportunity to recover funds after a foreclosure.
