ANDP
response to the foreclosure crisis
Stabilizing impacted neighborhoods
Our
nation is facing a housing crisis unseen since
the Great Depression of the 1930s! Georgia ranks
sixth in the nation in foreclosures and the
problem is of particular concern in the metro
Atlanta region. Consider the following:
-- Since 2006, nearly 150,000
foreclosures have been filed in the 10-county
region!
-- Foreclosures in the 5 core counties
increased by more than 28% in 2007 and are on
pace to increase by more than 50% in 2008!
-- A study by the Center for Responsible
Lending of 80,000 subprime foreclosures showed
that more than 630,000 surrounding homes will
lose value. The resulting decrease in house
values and tax bases totals $1.8 billion!
-- A recent study by Dan Immergluck of
Georgia Tech has shown that a 1% increase in the
foreclosure rate results in a 2.3% increase in
crime!
Affordable housing advocates are seeing decades
of revitalization being wiped away in many
neighborhoods. And the problem extends into
suburban Atlanta as well - as entire new
subdivisions have been foreclosed.
We must act now to stabilize impacted
neighborhoods! ANDP’s plan to address this
growing crisis includes. Read

Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008
On
Wednesday, July 30, President Bush signed into
law the
Housing and Economic
Recovery Act of 2008, H.R. 3221,
which is widely viewed as the most significant
housing legislation in a generation and aimed at
supporting a portion of families impacted by the
foreclosure crisis.
The measure includes $300 billion in new loan
authority for the government to back fixed rate
mortgages for troubled homeowners; $3.9 billion
for communities to rehabilitate foreclosed
properties and stabilize neighborhoods; and $15
billion in tax cuts, including an expanded
low-income housing tax credit and a credit of up
to $7,500, to be repaid, for some first-time
home buyers.
