In 2012, following the housing crisis and subsequent Great Recession, PPS included Foreclosed Multifamily Housing Stock on the Most Endangered Properties list. The collection of buildings included once-handsome buildings that provided pleasant housing for middle-and-working-class residents. At the time, many of these buildings were abandoned, stripped of plumbing, and boarded up, creating a continuing drag on their neighborhoods’ chances of revitalization.
