Our neighbors are being evicted and our community destabilized by the foreclosure crisis.

The Community Action Agency of Somerville (CAAS) in collaboration with Cambridge & Somerville Legal Services (CASLS) is initiating a post-foreclosure outreach and organizing campaign in Somerville.

We are asking YOU to join us as we go door-to-door to foreclosed properties in Somerville to talk with owners and tenants about their rights and how it may be possible for them to stay in their homes.

WHEN: Sunday, November 1st, 1:00-4:30PM

WHERE: CAAS, 66-70 Union Sq., Somerville (Located directly above the Precinct Bar, and accessible by bus: #83, #86, #87, #89, #91, OR a 15-minute walk from Harvard Square T stop)

WHAT: A brief training, some snacks, lots of canvassing, and a quick debrief.

PLEASE RSVP TO: Rachel Bedick, 617-623-1392 ext. 141, rbedick@caasomerville.org

    • Hi Larry,

      That’s an interesting article. What I don’t understand is why investors would refuse the loan modifications since the alternative is a mortgage default in which they’ll definitely lose their money. I wonder why the author neglected to deal with that issue.

      Has the foreclosure crisis directly affected you or the people you know?

  2. Rachel, what did your group hear from the residents you spoke with?
