Bill Moyers Takes a Look at Foreclosures in Ohio

PBS Programs Takes a Close Look at Renters/Foreclosures/Homelessness

Bill Moyer's Journal will focus on Cleveland Friday night on PBS TV. NEOCH has assisted with the research for the National Coalition for the Homeless report issued in February 2008. The report is available here. In June, Policy Matters Ohio published a report on the impact on renters who find that their property was foreclosed on and sold many times without their knowledge called Collateral Damage. The various reports and news stories about how bad it is in Cleveland caught the attention of Bill Moyers, and his staff came to Cleveland to look at the extent of the problem. The show will air this Friday 7/18/08 evening at 10 p.m. locally on WVIZ Channel 25 or check the PBS website for when the show plays in your area. They were able to interview homeless people, the Cleveland Tenants Organization, Councilman Brancatelli, Frank Jackson, and Jim Rokakis for the program. It should be good.
