The Foreclosure Crisis

Monday, May 19 - Friday, May 23 during Morning Edition

There are over 11,000 bank-owned houses in Cuyahoga County, and the number grows every day. Houses like this are dragging down local property values and hurting the bottom lines of some of the world’s largest financial institutions. During the week of May 19-23, ideastream®’s Mhari Saito talks to those wading through the mess left by the foreclosure crisis. Tune in each morning, Monday through Friday, during Morning Edition for the reports.
