Local News - A Feeling of Failure: The Impact of Foreclosure on the American Dream

This summer, NPR News is examining American Dreams: Then and Now. At KWBU, we're also looking at how people in Central Texas define this generations-old concept. For many the American Dream can feel out of reach, but what happens when you achieve it?only to lose it? In this 2-part series, KWBU's Becky Fogel looks at the role NeighborWorks Waco plays in helping to keep and get people into homes. In Part I, Fogel speaks with housing counselors about the emotional impact of foreclosure and the feeling that the American Dream has, at least temporarily, slipped away.
