Subprime Solution?This week NOW on PBS takes a look at the non-profit organization Just Price
Solutions and the man behind it, Brian Cosgrove. Cosgrove identified a problem: many low or moderate
income borrowers were getting steered into subprime scams because they had low credit scores. But these
scores were often low because the home buyers simply didn't take out enough loans or credit cards.
Cosgrove's goal was to help the millions of Americans with lower incomes purchase a home without being
caught in a "subprime" nightmare.
