Summary

Relief for Elderly Eviction and Foreclosure Act of 1989 - Amends the Older Americans Act of 1965 to require any political entity in which a proceeding has been commenced to compel the sale of a residence occupied by an older individual or to evict such individual by reason of his or her nonpayment of debt to notify the individual and the area agency on aging within seven days after the commencement of such proceeding. Prohibits any action from being taken to compel such sale or evict such individual within 120 days after the commencement of such proceeding if the area agency, within 60 days of receiving notice, determines that more time is needed to prevent, or provide social services to such individual in anticipation of, such sale or eviction. Requires the area agency, within 60 days of receiving notice, to consult with the older individual: (1) explaining to such individual his or her situation; (2) identifying Federal, State, or local assistance that may be available to delay or prevent such sale or eviction; (3) identifying alternative housing that may be available if such sale or eviction occurs; and (4) determining whether such individual is capable of understanding his or her situation and, if not, notifying an appropriate social service agency of such individual's need for assistance.
