Occupy Boston will join with City Life / Vida Urbana for an“Occupy our Homes” rally and march on Monday, December 19, 2011 at 12 noon at 10 Causeway St. in Boston, the Boston Regional Office of HUD. This rally is being called to bring visibility to the HUD eviction requirements.

City Life / Vida Urbana, community activists, and local families oppose the HUD requirements that allow commercial banks to evict foreclosure victims who have FHA-insured mortgagers before the property is transferred to HUD.  This policy forces the foreclosing lender to evict in order to get their insurance, even when they could otherwise afford to stay in the property.
