This event was cosponsored by the Urban Institute, Leadership Greater Washington, Fannie Mae, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, and The Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington.
We have heard the trends, statistics, scope, and impact of the foreclosure crisis in Greater Washington. What can we do as a community – businesses, nonprofits, government, and lenders – to prevent foreclosures and stabilize and support our neighborhoods?
NeighborhoodInfo DC, a partnership between the Urban Institute and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, held the second dialogue on the foreclosure crisis facing the Greater Washington region to answer these questions. The panel discussion on Banking and Servicer Solutions featured Jennifer Murphy from Center for New York City Neighborhoods and their innovative program to work with servicers.
