LET’S STOP FORECLOSURES!
LET’S STOP FORECLOSURES!
Did you know that 563 families in West Ridge lost their home to foreclosure in 2008?
That’s a 396% increase since 2006 – the second highest increase in Chicago!
Are you concerned about the impact this has on your neighborhood?
Are you afraid of losing your own home?
Let’s work together as a community to prevent foreclosures through education and action.
