Hazar Abbara hugs her neighbour Angeles Romero Fernandez (R) on a bed outside the apartment where Romero Fernandez and her family were evicted from two days ago in Madrid September 27, 2013. Rodriguez Romero lived with her husband, daughter and parents in a social rent flat of the Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS) in Madrid.

Rosa Maria Sastre Castilla, 46, (L-R), her mother Carmen Castilla, 77, and her sister Carmen Aurora, 49, sit with their belongings on the street that has been their home for the past two weeks in Madrid June 8, 2012. All of them, as well as their 44-year-old sister Antonia (not pictured), were evicted from their rental apartment on April 24 after Rosa, the sole breadwinner, lost her job and couldn't pay for the monthly rent. Social services provided them temporary lodging for 15 days, and after that they found themselves on the street. They all sleep cramped in a tiny space outside a store nearby. "If I could find a job again and we could get social rent, I'm sure we could make it work again, " says Rosa. As of now, the family lives on their mother's widow's pension as well as the little money they get from Antonia's disability check and whatever Carmen Aurora can scrape by working as a concierge at a nearby building. "The people in this neighbourhood are very nice. Many bring us food and try to make us more comfortable here," says Rosa. Picture taken June 8, 2012.

Construction workers start demolishing the interiors of a foreclosed home in Los Angeles, California May 14, 2012. At the height of the U.S. housing bubble, the practice of "flipping" homes - buying them for cheap, fixing them up and reselling them for a quick profit - was popular enough to inspire its own TV show. The housing crash that began about five years ago put the brakes on it, but it is now re-emerging in another form, with some investors selecting foreclosed homes in cities like Los Angeles and Phoenix for flipping.
