Minnesota State law (MN Statute 580.021) requires that the foreclosing party provide information regarding foreclosure prevention counseling services to the mortgager (homeowner) AND provide the homeowner’s name, address, and most recent known telephone number to an approved foreclosure prevention counseling agency - BEFORE filing the notice of pendency.
Once The Minnesota Home Ownership Center's network of foreclosure prevention agencies recieves notification from the lender/servicer/homeowners association, they then contact the homeowner, and track the number of notifications received during the month in their monthly reporting to the Center.

Once again, we have to tip our hats to the statewide network of Foreclosure Counselors! 4,150 families received notification of their services in May!
This brings the total number pre-foreclosure notices received in the Twin Cities Metro area (7-County Metro) to 21,030!
