Gomez invited Essex County Board of Chosen Freeholders President Britnee Timberlake to bring Brooks and Angarita to the meeting to inform the governing body about their new S.U.N. program, which helps struggling homeowners stay in their homes by buying their delinquent mortgages from the lenders that own them and reselling them to homeowners at reduced and renegotiated rates.
