Like so many Black homeowners struggling to keep their homes, the foreclosure crisis is also affecting many Black renters.Renters aren't even safe.
There were 90,782 foreclosure filings in Illinois last year, a 25 percent increase from 2006, according to RealtyTrac Inc., a California-based real estate company that tracks foreclosure activity in 50 states. Cook County is the largest county in the state with a population of 5.3 million, and it recorded more than 30,000 foreclosures in 2007.
