  The just-passed Housing and Economic Recovery Act includes provisions that will help some 400,000 families replace toxic loans with FHA financing. But for those with toxic loans, a high-cost mortgage with sane terms is better than foreclosure, bankruptcy and having your stuff sitting on the curb.
