Eight million people are at risk of losing their homes because Wall Street abandoned responsible lending practices to gain short-term profits. The housing crisis is not just a problem for families facing foreclosure - it's a problem for every homeowner in America. As long as foreclosures persist, home values will keep going down, and everyone loses.

We need your help. Have you been affected by the housing meltdown? Foreclosed on? Underwater? Record your story, or the story of a friend, family member, or neighbor, and send it to us. You can also add your written story along with a photo for the map. Then, watch the video stories of the families, mothers, fathers, and children who have lost, or are losing the place they call home.

Kerry Slams Republicans for Creating Housing Crisis

Sen. John Kerry is on fire. First, he drew the connection between the Vietnam War and the current quagmire in Afghanistan during Secrtary of State Clinton’s confirmation hearing. Now, he’s taking on the Republicans on the Senate floor, chastising the GOP and the Bush administration for creating the housing crisis.

“For nine months,” Kerry said, “they sat there while 10,000 homes a day were being foreclosed, and they allowed us to slide into where we are today.” So much for the Republicans’ ridiculous claims that a lack of housing relief was their chief concern with the stimulus.

Now if he could hold some oversight hearings on Afghanistan, we’d be all set!
