ROBINHOOD: STATES IN
TIGHTS?
TIGHTS?
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department on Wednesday allocated $1 billion in funding to U.S. states to help stabilize neighborhoods faced with many foreclosures. The sweeping bank reform bill, the Dodd-Frank Act, allocated the funds for the programs. "These grants will support local efforts to reverse the effects these foreclosed properties have on their surrounding neighborhoods," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. States can use the funds to acquire land and property; demolish or rehabilitate abandoned properties.
NOTE: Read that bold part again... States can now take advantage of homeowners who has their homes stolen (see florida) by illegal foreclosure mills etc. Doesn't that just make your brown eyes - blue? Let's see conflict of interest.... help homeowners? or help grow cities or state lands? Dont' staes make laws that affect the homeowners ability to win or lose their foreclosure fight in court?
NOTE: the ultimate slap in face is evicting homeowners, especially those trying to get help, and then allowing THEIR tax dollars to help fund recovery for the aftermath of foreclosure frenzy
I could go on and on, but it is getting pretty disgusting to listen to ALL the taxpayer money being awarded, when this was PREVENTABLE. Dont' get me wrong I think neighborhoods need cleaning up and crime preventation and restoration BUT I am sick at heart that states, cities, banks and insurance companies get funding and homeowners get the boot.
