Abstract
AbstractThe home is a meaningful site of security, control, and comfort. On the basis of ethnographic data, this paper examines how the meaning of home changes for people at‐risk of foreclosure and how their subsequent actions are shaped by these meanings. I explore shifts in the meaning of home, with particular attention to the interaction of race, family structure, and immigrant status in these constructions. As owners respond to foreclosure threat, interactions with lenders further leave owners with a sense that the process is beyond their control, threatening ontological security and a sense of being at home in the world.
