HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A new report says Pennsylvania has some of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation.
Last year, nearly 31,000 properties across the commonwealth were foreclosed, according to ATTOM Data Solutions. Some housing agencies say part of the problem is due to predatory lending and loan scams.
“Pennsylvania remains high, in particular, compared to other states because of predatory lending,” said Sam Milkes, executive director of the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network.
Milkes says the symptoms of the housing crisis of the mid-2000’s never really went away.
“Maybe they’re not regarding it as the same crisis anymore, but people are still losing their homes,” said Milkes.
