Housing bubble explodes in foreclosures
Tens of thousands of people traveled to Washington DC to take part in the Save the Dream Program, sponsored by the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America, or NACA. NACA helps people facing foreclosure to get a lower rate on their mortgage or a lower interest rate. Some people traveled from across the country, calling this their last home to save their home.
A federal report just came out that more people are late on their home mortgage payments and face default. Conveniently, these people do not qualify for help from the federal government. Sawsan Zaky says that not many people are able to modify their loan even though the banks are saying they would like to work with people who are close to default.
