This weekend marks "Lehman Brothers Weekend," the 10-year anniversary of the start of the Financial Crisis. See what those instrumental in handling the crisis learned, and how our current housing market compares to the pre-crisis market.

Though the Hardest Hit Fund was established to act as a safety net for unemployed or underemployed working class Americans, a recent audit of the program found it’s not helping as much as it could.

It has been eight years since the implementation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. What has this program and others instilled by Treasury done to asset in helping the housing market recover?

The Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) was created under the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program in 2010 to help the areas that were deemed to have been hit hardest by the financial crisis. How is the latest—and final—round of funding going to be disbursed?

While a fast track foreclosure bill aimed at eliminating blight awaits a vote in the Ohio State Senate, the U.S. Senate in Ohio has taken action.

The latest allocation to the Hardest Hit Fund from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, which totals $2 billion, is the fifth round of HHF funding aimed at helping struggling homeowners and stabilizing neighborhoods.

The economy has experienced 67 straight months of private sector job growth and the unemployment rate is at its lowest level since 2008 (5.1 percent), serving as " proof that the broad-based federal response to the financial crisis was effective in stabilizing our economy and setting the table for sustainable growth," the authors said.

The U.S. Department of Treasury has priced auctions of preferred Capital Purchase Program (CPP) stock for five institutions as part of the government's strategy to wind down the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and recover remaining CPP investments, according to an announcement from Treasury.

The U.S. Department of Treasury recovered approximately $30 million for taxpayers through the sale of First BanCorp common stock, according to an announcement from Treasury on Monday.

Investigations conducted by the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP) into crime and civil violations of the law related to the government's TARP program have resulted in the recovery of more than $1.48 billion as of December 31, 2014, according to an announcement from SIGTARP.
