An End to 2020 but Not an End to the Pandemic or Consumers' Mortgage Struggles
2020 is finally in the rearview mirror, but not all of the issues associated with that year are. Although a vaccine is promising a return to (mostly) normal life in 2021, many families, especially low-income homeowners and homeowners of color, continue to struggle with how to pay their bills and keep their homes.
The federal government, various states, and private industry have been adopting new rules and systems to provide consumers with temporary relief from mortgage payments and foreclosures. How well have these measures worked and what long-term strategies are needed to help homeowners and the housing market recover from the pandemic. Will communities of color be facing their second crisis? What can we do to promote a just recovery that fairly provides assistance without exacerbating the problem?
