Expert Chat: Announcing Foreclosure-Response.org
February 17, 2009 – 3:27 pm by David Newhoff
Time: Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 1:30 p.m. EST
The Center for Housing Policy, KnowledgePlex, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation and the Urban Institute have joined forces to launch Foreclosure-Response.org – a new Web resource that provides government officials, housing practitioners and advocates with up-to-date information on a broad range of state and local policy solutions related to foreclosure prevention and neighborhood stabilization. The Web site includes a comprehensive policy guide of strategies for preventing and responding to foreclosures, as well as access to interactive online discussions and tools that allow users to create customized data reports and maps (powered by DataPlace) to identify areas in which to target resources and efforts.
In this online chat, speakers will introduce Foreclosure-Response.org and discuss how the information and tools available on the site can be applied to help communities develop more effective strategies for preventing foreclosures and stabilizing neighborhoods.
Speakers will also highlight promising approaches for achieving these outcomes that are being utilized by communities around the country.
Panelists:
Maya Brennan, research associate for the Center for Housing Policy
Conrad Egan, president and CEO of the National Housing Conference
Emily Salomon, research associate for the Center for Housing Policy
G. Thomas Kingsley, senior research associate in the Metropolitan Housing and Communities Policy Center at the Urban Institute
Chris Walker, director of research and assessment for the Local Initiatives Support Corporation
