The housing crisis that began in 2007 hit Atlanta hard. Foreclosures consumed neighborhoods around the metro area, leaving entire blocks dotted with vacant homes.

Now, WABE is planning a new series exploring the lasting impact of that national crisis on the region. And as part of that series, we want to hear your stories.
