Following nearly a decade of exponential growth in the housing market, the laws of gravity have returned and we are now facing one of the biggest financial crises of the past half century. Declining home values and sharp interest rate resets have combined to drive foreclosures to record levels, and the losses to homeowners, communities, and investors are threatening to throw the economy into recession. California, which saw some of the greatest increases in housing prices, is being hit particularly hard by the foreclosure crisis. California has the second highest foreclosure rate in the country, with one filing for every 88 households. In Antioch, CA, many of the homeowners being most affected by the crisis are immigrants who got locked into bank loans and are now fighting them to keep their homes. After ten years of living in the house he made into a home, Jamie Silahua and his family were forced out by their bank after failing to keep up with the minimum payment, which increased excessively.
