Stop Preventable Foreclosures

Faith In Community held a rally in front of St. John's Cathedral in Fresno today (Friday, March 6, 2009) to welcome the PICO National Network Recovery Express, a bus that will stop at key cities in the United States that are being heavily affected by the foreclosure crisis. As the Express makes each stop, it will hold a rally at each city to gain national media momentum and local support as they head towards Washington DC to meet with hundreds of leaders from the PICO National Network.

Families from all walks of life are losing their homes and at the same time their hopes of the American dream. In 2008 alone, banks foreclosed on 12,571 homes in the Fresno region, a 102.5 percent increase over the previous year. As it stands now, it is estimated that 1 in 15 homes will be lost if immediate action doesn't take place locally.
