JUST RELEASED: 2012 Annual Foreclosures in Minnesota
Released: February 2013
There were 17,895 foreclosures in Minnesota in 2012, which is down 16% from 2011, and the lowest statewide total since 2006. However, the total number of foreclosures remains elevated, still nearly three times the number of annual foreclosures in 2005, the first year these numbers were compiled. HousingLink was commissioned to complete this report by The Minnesota Home Ownership Center, Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, Minnesota Housing, and Family Housing Fund.

Foreclosure Recovery Progress Report Through Q2 2012
Released: August 2012
Thanks to support from Family Housing Fund and Twin Cities Local Support Initiatives Corporation (Twin Cities LISC), HousingLink is engaged in tracking foreclosure recovery efforts of the Minnesota Foreclosure Partners Council (MFPC) over a period of five years, via a series of semi-annual reports. The MFPC is a collaborative effort by local government agencies and nonprofits to address the foreclosure crisis in Minnesota.  In the Fall of 2010, HousingLink's quantitative measurement of three goals was adopted into the MFPC's Coordinated Plan to Address Foreclosures.
