| WHY: |
The City of Cleveland and the surrounding region is currently at the epicenter of a foreclosure crisis with the 44105 zip code, inside Cleveland, being at times ranked number one in the nation for foreclosures. Though the crisis is most extreme in Cleveland and other rust belt cities, the foreclosure epidemic is a national one. With the March 4, 2008 presidential primary nearing and presidential candidates expected to be in Ohio at the end of February, Cleveland City Council is taking the opportunity to share Cleveland’s concerns with those that aspire to lead our nation as the next president of the United States.
