The Great Recession Hits Home: Asset Depletion and Foreclosure in Boston

Dr. Hannah Thomas was featured in a Webinar with Dr. Curtis Skinner as a discussant. During the Webinar, Dr. Thomas explored the ways that foreclosure affects households, including finances, health, trust in lending institutions, and stability. Based on interviews with families in Boston, MA, the Scholar relayed her findings as to why households in foreclosure often end up spending their hard-earned savings and wealth in a process of asset depletion. Click here to learn more about Dr. Thomas and view more resources from the Webinar.
