Renters and Foreclosures




HousingPolicy.org Out Loud show

Summary: In this month's podcast, we hear from Danilo Pelletiere, Research Director of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, a non-profit dedicated solely to ending America's affordable housing crisis. As Pelletiere reminds us, many of the properties facing foreclosure -- including both single-family homes and multifamily buildings -- are occupied by renters, leaving these families at risk of eviction, even if they are paying their rent on a timely and regular basis. In this interview, he summarizes research his organization has conducted on this topic as well as actions being taken at the state and local levels to assist renters that are at risk of being displaced.
