NR231el Stabilizing Neighborhoods in a Post-Foreclosure Environment
Stabilizing Neighborhoods in a Post-Foreclosure Environment is an online learning experience which provides timely information on analyzing regional and neighborhood markets and customizing intervention strategies to achieve stabilization outcomes in neighborhoods and communities. You will learn about outcomes and measures of success for stabilization, and be better equipped to understand, access, and use local data on housing markets and other indicators of foreclosure related neighborhood distress to design and implement interventions and advocate for policy and resource support. Ten categories of stabilization strategies will be presented and participants will evaluate a case study neighborhood and design an appropriate strategy mix and approach.

Additional resources, including links to websites dedicated to neighborhood stabilization and sources of data, will also be made available through this course.

This e-learning course offered by NeighborWorks America is intended for community leaders from nonprofits, government, neighborhoods, financial institutions, intermediaries, and others engaged in stabilizing neighborhoods that have experienced foreclosure.

Upon successful completion of NR231el, participants will know how to characterize and understand the distinctive forces that are driving mortgage foreclosures and recovery in diverse regional markets as well as local neighborhoods markets; choose among a wide range of strategies for restoring and protecting neighborhoods like their own; understand and use diverse sources of data to document the impact of foreclosure in their own neighborhoods.
