IN THE MEDIA

Our Underwater America report, which was released in May, continues to receive national and local media attention. A summary of the report and key press clips was emailed to staff directors of all members of Congress this week. Underwater America identifies the nation’s most troubled regions, cities, and neighborhoods with the highest proportion of homeowners with negative equity or “underwater mortgages” and reveals that the hardest-hit are communities of color.
