The Mercury News’ story on community resources in the South Bay for those facing foreclosure was wrapped in the tale of a woman worn out by two years of counseling those at risk of losing their homes.
Congress and, to some degree the press, has moved on from the foreclosure crisis, while the statistics report that something like 12% of the home mortgages in the US are behind at least one payment. Those in the trenches know that there seems no end in sight and voluntary loan modification programs aren’t in place or yet effective.
