Past Event
Re-Engineering the Real Estate Market | June 26-27, 2008
Hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
This forum focused on:
- the impact that the high rate of foreclosures has had on the functioning of the real estate market, and
- effective strategies that guide local governments and communities to feasible solutions.
The opening plenary session featured mortgage industry experts discussing voluntary measures recently undertaken to address foreclosures. Sessions also provided insights on the recovery of foreclosed properties, renewal of communities weakened by foreclosures and assistance to consumers adversely affected by the downturn in the housing market. The forum ended with a discussion of practical policy changes that can alleviate preventable foreclosures, rebuild communities and return the mortgage market to a well-functioning state.
