We are now live with a new part of HuffPost called Firsthand for you to tell us what is happening in your neighborhood. 

This month, we are focusing on your stories about underwater borrowing (foreclosure, empty storefronts, other concerning trends you see).

Find out more about why some cities are considering eminent domain as an underwater mortgage fix.

And read Arianna’s invitation to map your story with Firsthand.

Right now on the front page of HuffPost: the new Firsthand section.

This is the new thing I am leading at HuffPost. This is community storytelling.

We are focusing on underwater borrowing, eminent domain, mortgages, housing crises, foreclosure for all of October.

To share a story of your own, please go here in a browser or use one of our new mobile apps that we have partnered with Ushahidi to create (download the iTunes app link - will save to your desktop, double-click to add to iTunes, and then sync apps the next time you plug in your device or the Droid app).
