Join us for Stabilizing Communities: Addressing the Negative Impacts of
Foreclosure, a two-day symposium co-sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on July 15-16, 2008, at the
Hollywood Renaissance Hotel in Los Angeles, California. The symposium is
part of a Federal Reserve System conference series,
Recovery-Renewal-Rebuilding, that seeks to develop and disseminate
innovative strategies and policies that can help to address the broad
range of challenges related to the rise in mortgage delinquencies and
foreclosures.
The Stabilizing Communities symposium will bring together national experts
to share best practices for mitigating the negative impacts of foreclosure
on borrowers and neighborhoods. The objective is to provide local leaders
and practitioners with tangible examples of how to address the foreclosure
crisis within their communities, with a special emphasis on the issues
facing high-cost markets such as those in Arizona, California, and
Nevada.
Over the two days, plenary panels and workshops will cover:
* Innovative Models for Dealing with Foreclosed and REO Properties
* Financing REO Property Acquisition
* Nonprofit Property Rehabilitation
* Using Data and Research to Target Interventions
* An Update on National and State Policies and Initiatives
* Lender and Servicer REO Disposition Strategies
* Best Practices for Helping Borrowers in and after Foreclosure
* Financing Affordable Homeownership: New Products and Strategies
The symposium will offer key learnings from other cities and neighborhoods
across the country, and will highlight the innovative work of nonprofits,
CDFIs, national intermediaries, and local and state governments in
addressing the foreclosure crisis.
We hope that you will be able join us in Los Angeles on July 15th and
