Since 2007, residential foreclosures have become a common phenomenon in many U.S. communities, impacting households across traditional strata of race and class. Foreclosures not only result in economic shocks with significant ramifications for affected households, but also create grounds for further instability within affected neighborhoods. In addition to the financial shock and loss of household assets, foreclosure can directly result in residential displacement.
Given all of the attention paid to the foreclosure process, what happens to households following foreclosure? In this talk, Greenlee will examine the extent to which increased foreclosure risk causes residential displacement. He also will discuss a new method for tracking the housing and neighborhood transitions that occur as a result of residential foreclosures.
