Community leaders are looking at the feasibility of converting 100 foreclosed homes in Ventura County into shelters for the homeless.

Nearly 40 financial, government, nonprofit and religious officials met earlier this week in Ventura to explore the idea of developing housing such as emergency shelters, transitional programs and long-term leases for families.

Officials said such a program could not only get the homeless off the streets, but also stabilize real estate prices by lowering the number of unsold houses.

Throw people out who get foreclosed..
make them homeless
then move them into foreclosed houses
