There is a new foreclosure in the United States every 13 seconds according to a report by the Center for Responsible Lending. That number is staggering. So is the number of families that have lost their home since January 1, 2009 alone (365,000 and growing).
The Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act is the only current legislation designed to slow this process. The bill will be before the House of Representatives Thursday for a vote. Call, fax or e-mail your congressperson to support it. Click here to find your representative.
