NEW HAVEN FORECLOSURES
Bill Rankin, 2012
In New Haven, the largest concentrations of foreclosures are in predominatly poor, non-white neighborhoods like Fair Haven, Newhallville, and Hill. In these neighborhoods, foreclosures are more just than a financial tragedy for individual families; they also create major neighborhood problems. With banks often failing to find new buyers, foreclosed houses will remain unoccupied and deteriorate, quickly becoming sites for prostitution, drugs, and large piles of garbage. In many cases it's unclear whether these homes will ever be restored to livability.
