The Foreclosure Crisis - What Can We Do?

Recent US census data reported that 3.5 million Americans are homeless and 18. million homes sit vacant. Millions more are in jeopardy of default and foreclosure.

On average, in DuPage County alone, there are approximately 6,500 foreclosure cases ongoing
each month.

Debbie Olson, the new Executive Director of the DuPage Homeownership Center will engage the Coffeehouse in a conversation about foreclosures in DuPage County, and
what the Center is doing to be part of the solution.
