In 2009, more than 2.8 million housing units in the U.S. received a foreclosure notice. That represents about 1 in every 45 properties and a 120% increase in the number of foreclosed properties since 2007. Real estate experts predict even more foreclosures in 2010 as high unemployment continues. The cascading effects of the foreclosure crisis on the U.S. economy are all too clear; the effects on individuals' health status are less obvious. This Issue Brief summarizes two studies that examine the health implications of foreclosure and reveal a vulnerable population that may benefit from coordinated health and financial services.
2009年，美国有超过280万套住房收到止赎通知。这意味着每45处房产中就有1处受到影响，且自2007年以来止赎房产数量增加了120%。房地产专家预测，随着高失业率持续，2010年止赎情况会更严重。止赎危机对美国经济的连锁影响显而易见；而对个人健康状况的影响则不那么明显。本问题简报总结了两项研究，这些研究探讨了止赎对健康的影响，并揭示了一个可能受益于协调的健康和金融服务的弱势群体。
