The US subprime crisis beginning in 2007 was largely the result of an increasingly direct connection between global capital markets and US homeowners and neighborhoods, with little mediation, oversight or restraint, especially on the part of the public sector. There was little concern as to the consequences that high-risk lending might have on local communities and their residents. Rather, the focus was on promoting liquidity at all costs, in order to increase transaction volumes (and associated profits) and promote the short-term economic growth that came with greater financialization. As part of their deregulatory agenda, federal policymakers pre-empted states' attempts to regulate subprime lending, despite the fact that a key outcome of the crisis — the accumulation and concentration of vacant foreclosed properties — hit many local communities hard. After summarizing the key origins of the crisis, including the role of federal policymakers in supporting subprime lenders and pre-empting state lending regulations, I describe the piling up of vacant foreclosed properties in many neighborhoods. Foreclosed properties can pose many difficulties for communities, especially those already suffering from other economic and structural disadvantages. I also discuss the primary federal response to the problem of vacant foreclosed properties, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which was adopted in the summer of 2008. Résumé La crise dite des subprimes qui a débuté en 2007 aux États-Unis tient en grande partie à un rapport de plus en plus direct entre les marchés de capitaux mondiaux et les propriétaires d'habitation et quartiers américains, alliéà peu d'interventions, de surveillance ou de modération, notamment de la part du secteur public. Peu se préoccupaient des conséquences des prêts à haut risque sur les communautés locales et leurs résidents. La prioritéétait plutôt de favoriser la liquiditéà tout prix afin d'augmenter les volumes de transactions (et les profits correspondants) et de stimuler la croissance économique à court terme qui a accompagné la financiarisation accrue. Dans le cadre de leur projet de dérégulation, les décideurs politiques au niveau fédéral ont court-circuité les tentatives des États de réguler les prêts de type subprime, malgré le fait que l'un des effets majeurs de la crise (accumulation et concentration de propriétés saisies vacantes) a durement affecté de nombreuses communautés locales. Après un résumé des principales origines de la crise, dont le rôle des auteurs des politiques fédérales qui ont soutenu les organismes de prêt à risque et entravé les réglementations des États sur les crédits, cette étude décrit l'entassement de propriétés saisies vides dans de nombreux quartiers. Cette situation peut devenir très problématique pour les communautés, notamment pour celles qui souffrent déjà d'autres handicaps économiques et structurels. Le Neighborhood Stabilization Program, plan d'urgence national adoptéà l'été 2008 pour lutter contre l'agglomération de propriétés saisies vides, est également analysé
