The city of Ontario, California, set up a camp where homeless people can put up tents and live there. They were about 12 people when they set it up, but soon it mushroomed into 300 people.
Although the majority of people there are homeless for a number of reasons, a minority of people there are victims of foreclosures.

Here is the story of a formerly middle class man who is now homeless:
But one man, who did not give his name, said he and his family were living in Tent City because they were victims of America's foreclosure crisis. It came down to "feeding my family or keeping the house", he said, "so I got rid of the house".Foreclosure victim
The property he lost is nearby in Ontario [California], which, in places, offers a middle-class suburban dream - green lawns, wide pavements, garages big enough for two cars.
Yet it is in an area known as the Inland Empire, where the rate of foreclosure is the third highest in the entire US.
No longer able to afford his mortgage payments, this man saw his lender repossess the property, and now someone else lives there.
"It's hard for me to see it, when someone else owns it and I am homeless with nothing," he said.

Why isn't the American media covering these kinds of stories?
Is reality again being too biased against the economic policies that produce these results?
