Stop Preventable Foreclosures
Faith in Community held a rally today in front of Saint John’s Cathedral to protest the high level of forecloses in Fresno and throughout the country. In 2008 alone, banks foreclosed on 12,571 homes in the Fresno region, a 102.5 percent increase over the previous year.
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.

I rent, I could have jumped on the bandwagon and got a sucker loan in the over priced LA market but I did the responsible thing and didn't. Now I have been laid off and had to get a roommate to even pay the overpriced rent. That may not be enough. I may have to cut out my phone, trade in my car and get rid of the internet. That will make it even harder to get work, but at least I would have a place to live and I could go to the library and take the laughable mass transit. I am not there yet. but if I don't get a piece of the stimulus or a job soon, that is where I will be. And pissed off.

What are "preventable forclosures"? I don't understand what that means.
