Bill could help stabilize neighborhoods hit hardest with foreclosures

H.R. 5818 would establish a $15 billion loan and grant program for the purchase and rehabilitation of owner-vacated, foreclosed homes, helping to stabilize and reoccupy them as soon as possible.

H.R 5818 is important because it will provide funds to state and local governments to address the foreclosed and abandoned homes which threaten to weaken neighborhoods.
