Homeless encouraged to move into foreclosed houses - Telegraph: "In Miami, an anti-poverty activist group called Take Back The Land not only matches up the homeless with empty properties but provides them with second-hand furniture, cleaning supplies and gardening assistance.
Some property owners in Atlanta, where officials describe foreclosures as an 'epidemic', have gone so far as to pay homeless people to live in their abandoned homes as a security measure.
Meanwhile, poverty campaigners in Cleveland, Ohio, are negotiating with the city authorities to allow homes people to move into and repair empty, dilapidated homes.
'We're matching homeless people with people-less homes,' said Max Rameau, a co-founder of Take Back The Land."

I saw a complaint about this in my area in the local paper's comments section, and I thought it was a joke or a "get back at the bank" situation.
