Linda Donna sits in her Commerce City home, looking out front her living room window. “This is my sanctuary,” she said with a smile on her face. “This is where you close the door; all the madness is outside and it doesn’t have to be brought in here.”

The former telecommunications specialist claimed she lost her job because of her age. “It was a forced retirement,” she said. The economy and the lack of job opportunities made it difficult for Donna, 61, to find work. “But I still had to maintain properties; I was using my savings.”

Donna is one of the many in Colorado who faced foreclosure during the height of the housing crisis. According to data by the Colorado Division of Housing, more than 160,000 homeowners had foreclosure filing against them between the years of 2008 to 2011.
