Families Are Evicted From Homes As Economic Crisis Worsens

ADAMS COUNTY, CO – FEBRUARY 02: Mary Ann Smith collects some belongings after an eviction team removed the furniture from her foreclosed house on February 2, 2009 in Adams County, Colorado. Smith said she and her husband had been renting from an owner, who collected the monthly payments but had stopped paying his mortgage. The bank foreclosed on the property and called the Adams County sheriff’s department to supervise the eviction. They managed to borrow enough money to rent another house for themselves and their four children, she said, but not in time to avoid eviction. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
