The general problem is that even though “stress is a normal part of everyday life, . . . the high levels of anxiety, shame, uncertainty, and fear likely associated with home foreclosure may contribute to a host of physical and mental illness” (Kingsley et al., 2009, p. 3). The health-related concerns of home foreclosures on families are mostly unexplored (Housing Program of Jefferson Parish, 2007). The specific problem is that the potential deleterious consequences of home foreclosures on physical and mental health remain generally unknown. Families in foreclosure may have more health problems than do their unaffected counterparts (Childs, 2008). Kalita (2011) found a rise of 100 foreclosures accounted for 12% more emergency and hospital visits for the individuals involved, and for an increase of 100 foreclosures, 39% more suicide-attempt patients went to emergency rooms and were hospitalized.
