Local Families Fear Landlord's Pending Foreclosure Situation
Six properties were noted as going into foreclosure by the local newspaper this week. One of the tenants spoke to me briefly yesterday, she is very worried she could become homeless. A child and several pets are in this family. That really hit home, this is Alta, Iowa. We are insulated from a lot of things here, but even here we are seeing foreclosures creep up.
Personally, I wouldn't live anywhere else, mostly because I have lived in a lot of other states and I know how precious the small town community is. I know if this situation does go the distance and the tenants have to move out the local community, people, churches etc will step up and take care of their own. I have only experienced this "care for one another" here in Iowa. My prayers are with all these families and with the owner, I will do my best to help in anyway that I can and I know that there are many others who feel the same. That is what makes Iowa and America great.
