Our Stories
These stories were produced by Kelly Creedon for the project We Shall Not Be Moved.
Reggie Fuller and Louanna Hall
Tenants Reggie Fuller and Louanna Hall were faithfully paying rent on their Dorchester apartment when they heard rumors their landlord was in foreclosure. Now, after two years living in limbo as the only remaining tenants in the building, they’ve become leaders in the movement to support others facing displacement after foreclosure.
Marshall Cooper
When Marshall Cooper couldn’t qualify for a traditional mortgage, the bank referred him to an alternative lender who offered him a loan with twice the interest rate. As the expense of caring for his aging parents made it harder and harder to meet his increasing mortgage payments, he fell behind. After two bankruptcies and a failed modification, the house went into foreclosure. Now Marshall, 75, is fighting eviction by the bank and doing everything he can to hold on to his home.
