A housing advocacy group kicked off its “home-staying campaign" today to help homeowners facing foreclosure remain in their homes.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate-income families, has trained volunteers how to peacefully sit-in and prevent a homeowner from being evicted because of foreclosure.
These residents are willing to be arrested rather than be evicted from their homes.
"We're standing together, helping to keep families in their homes until there is a comprehensive solution to the foreclosure crisis," said Julia Boyd of ACORN.
The campaign was launched this morning outside the Laurelton, Queens home of Myrna Millington. The 73-year-old's home was foreclosed in September and has already been scheduled for auction once. If there is a winning bid, Millington will be served an eviction notice.

hERE COMES PHASE TWO.
BUY AMMO!
Gawd, how I wish they’d show up in my neighborhood, but all my neighbors make their mortgage payments.
“These residents are willing to be arrested rather than be evicted from their homes.”
How stupid!
We’ll get a 2-for-1. They’ll get arrested and evicted.
The gall of these people knows no bounds. Their sense of entitlement is limitless. Words fail me.
Oh, my. I suppose his civilian militia will protect the protestors and create some alternate reality of law and order in this country.
You don't pay for it, then it's not yours.
Here's a comprehensive solution for you: PAY YOUR BILLS OR GET OUT.
Whatda We Want? Free Homes!!
Free Homes! ...No Home! No Peace!
We’ve devolved to a mob-ocracy.
Third-world politics inspired by a Third-world president.
“These residents are willing to be arrested rather than be evicted from their homes.”
ACORN....are they getting funds from the porkulus already??
I hope every one of them gets arrested.
Step 1. Force them to give you a loan
Step 2. Don’t pay payments on the home in unison.
Step 3. In mass, don’t move it when ordered.
Step 4. Free housing!
Why doesn’t ACORN use all their gummint money to buy the homes at auction, then put the evicted people back in them?
Money where your mouth is time, ACORN!
WE WANT PIE!!!
You mean the Black Panthers?
sw
I am really glad last summer we sold off our rental property I inherited. I can see the next step of renters refusing to move.
Obviously the goal is free houses. This is nothing but wealth redistribution.
You forgot Step 5. Get tax payer dollars from the O/Dems and get to stay in a house you can’t afford while we pay for it!
