Foreclosure Photo Project
Why Get Involved?
The current foreclosure crisis is the result of a broken financial system. This system has not been regulated to protect communities and the people that make up our communities. This crisis is not – as some would have us believe - the result of borrowers making bad decisions. A lack of regulation in the mortgage financial industry has encouraged bad loans and led to millions of American families facing foreclosure.
The Foreclosure Photo Project reveals the human suffering and community devastation spawned by an unregulated mortgage industry. Let’s work together to tell the REAL story of the foreclosure crisis. It is critical to expose the scope and depth of the foreclosure crisis to ensure a comprehensive response from our government and the mortgage industry.
The only way to fight the foreclosure crisis and protect our communities is to work together!
We need to hear from you!
Please contact us if you have a story to share. We want to hear about and SEE what the foreclosure crisis looks like in your community. Send us digital photos of foreclosed or abandoned properties in your community, stories about people and families you know impacted by this crisis, and photos to illustrate the community impact of this crisis. Photos sent with requested information in will appear on the Foreclosure Photo Project website.
Please include the following information when sending your foreclosure photos:
- city and state
- brief description of the photo
- contact name and email address (of person sending photos)
