This is a true story. Actually, it is two stories about the foreclosure crisis, both true.
We’re familiar with the first story. In Massachusetts and across the country, the foreclosure crisis continues to decimate families, and communities.

The programs initiated by the federal government have been too little and too late and too reliant on the voluntary participation of lenders.
