Unemployment Fuels Evictions And Foreclosures Nationwide
BOULDER, CO - DECEMBER 11: (BEST OF YEAR PACKAGE) Sheriff's deputy Seth Poe waits to escort Harvey Lesser, 58, from his apartment after serving him with a court order for eviction on December 11, 2009 in Boulder, Colorado. Lesser, an unemployed software developer suffering from high blood pressure, diabetes and chronic back problems, said that he could not afford to make his rent payment the previous month, leading to the eviction. Since being laid-off by IBM, he said he had exhausted all of his savings, including retirement funds, for cost of living expenses as well as the $700 monthly payments for personal health insurance.
