44,100 Massachusetts foreclosures since 2007 = 88,000 households threatened. Our state economy loses $4.1B MONTHLY from foreclosures. It’s time to take action to prevent needless foreclosures and save our neighborhoods! This briefing will provide vital facts and figures to support the need for legislative action to stop foreclosures and keep Massachusetts families in their homes. Please join us for this event!
