Schools are among the first places to feel the fallout

NPR’s Marketplace did a report last night on how the foreclosure crisis is impacting the schools in Cleveland, OH. Mhari Saito from WCPN in Cleveland reports on how those districts, and their students, are coping.

Brian Davis, who heads the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, summed up the situation: It’s usually somebody who is living in a duplex or multifamily apartment building that’s been foreclosed on. And usually the tenant is the last to know in the whole process. They have usually a short period of time to relocate and have then trouble finding a place to live.
