Corporate Responsibility

Safeguard is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen to improve the social and economic well-being of our community and to help raise the profile of our industry.

We are honored to give back to our community and our industry in gratitude for our success, in particular the numerous local and national organizations we have supported in partnership with our clients and our employees.

Consistent with Safeguard’s mission, we are an active supporter of efforts to combat vacant blight in our nation’s neighborhoods.

In our local community, we are proud to support the Cuyahoga County Foreclosure Prevention Program, which has helped thousands of families avoid the loss of their homes in financially difficult times.  We also support the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home, in memory of one of our vendors, Jonathan Steele.

On a national level, with our clients and our industry colleagues, we have been proactive in working with city officials to fight neighborhood blight and maintain the integrity of vacant properties.

Under the leadership of the Mortgage Bankers Association, we have worked to address vacant property issues with cities across the country. In partnership with the National Vacant Properties Campaign and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, we have worked to establish innovative ways to improve communications between cities and our industry to address community blight issues.

After the Hurricane Katrina disaster, during which Safeguard supported homeowners and the mortgage industry in the recovery efforts, Robert Klein and his wife Ita made a personal donation to create a fund to help victims.
