After winning a writ of eviction from the courts to force Rosemary Williams from her home - but faced with planned civil disobedience and protest that would put GMAC’s inhuman actions into the news - GMAC has temporarily backed off from the eviction and offered to significantly lower the price at which they will sell to Rosemary her home (GMAC bought her home at a sheriff’s sale). However, they will not finance the mortgage. Instead, they are giving Rosemary until July 10th to find a bank that will.

Update from comments: First, there is good news. The judge has ordered a representative of GMAC to meet with Rosemary tomorrow, June 17th, the goal being for them to arrange a deal in which Rosemary can stay in her home at an affordable rate. This does not mean that they will reach a deal, but it does mean that if a deal is not reached the eviction will not happen until - at the soonest - next Wedensday, June 24th. 

If a resolution is reached on Wednesday, June 17th there will be a block party on Rosemary's block.
