Our Foreclosure Crisis
More than 18,000 residential foreclosures have occurred in Kent County since 2004: 1 of every 10 homes. In hardest hit Grand Rapids, 1 out of 7 homes have foreclosed. Foreclosures affect everyone. They cause property values to go down. Property that sits vacant invites crime and lowers the tax base. The first wave of homeowners forced into foreclosure was kindled mainly by unemployment or reduced hours, unexpected health care (or other costs), and in too many cases, predatory loans.
Kent County’s foreclosure rate is now rising faster than Grand Rapids. As national experts predicted, we’ve entered the next wave of foreclosure, those homeowners with prime loans experiencing financial stress.
Help spread the word that regardless of income level, there’s no cost help available. And please share this website with others.
