The lists - approved and conditional - are posted on the website (and I just found out that even though I'm not on the approved list I am actually approved). I've heard that KCDRC has received some assignments.

Here is a comment on the Foreclosure Mediation group wall. Comments are informal, casual ways for us to communicate among ourselves. Like any wall that collects graffiti, this wall will be "scrubbed" occasionally. So for a more lasting conversation, start a discussion (the +Add a Discussion link above). Discussions allow for real conversations, going back-and-forth with replies and responses - and they're kept indefinitely.
