From 2007 to 2012, almost five percent of American adults-about ten
million people-lost their homes because they could not make
mortgage payments. The scale of this home mortgage crisis is
unprecedented-and it's not over. Foreclosures still displace more
American homeowners every year than at any time before the
twenty-first century. The dispossession and forced displacement of
American families affects their health, educational success, and
access to jobs. It continues to block any real recovery in the
hardest-hit communities. While we now know a lot about how this
crisis affected the global economy, we still know very little about
how it affected the people who lost their homes. Foreclosed America
offers the first representative portrait of those people-who they
are, how and where they live after losing their homes, and what
they have to say about their finances, their neighborhoods, and
American politics. It is a sobering picture of Americans down on
their luck, and of a crisis that is testing American democracy.
