SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- Attorney General John Kroger has won a federal grant to help prosecute mortgage fraud as part of his effort to help Oregonians stay in their homes.
Kroger said people threatened with losing their homes during a recession often get desperate, putting them at risk for fraud.

Kroger said the grant will fund one new prosecutor and one new investigator to coordinate Oregon Department of Justice prosecution of mortgage fraud cases.
The attorney general's office has opened nearly a dozen mortgage fraud and foreclosure scam investigations in the past year, including several criminal cases.
