People that lose their house but still have their jobs rent. There is a LOT that the report left out - there has to be. The story doesn't fit the logic.
While something like this might be possible I would be hesitant to jump to conclusions. We have a lot of illegal aliens in California, and costruction work has significantly dried up. I wonder how much of this population is made up of US citizens who were homeowners, and lost their homes. I would like to see some statistics, up here in NorCal we don't see this happening. Folks losing homes end up renting homes or apartments.

California registered more than 481,000 foreclosure filings across the state last year, which dwarfs the help offered by the FHA changes
