Symposium Resources

NeighborWorks America hosted a national symposium on neighborhood stabilization at its NeighborWorks Training Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 7, 2008. Speakers included Federal Reserve Board Governor Randall S. Kroszner and FDIC Director Thomas J. Curry. The symposium – “Weathering the Storm: Stabilizing Communities in the Wake of Foreclosure” – examined a range of issues affecting neighborhoods where homeowners are facing foreclosure. A number of resources from the symposium are now available. We will continue to grow this section as resources come in, so check back frequently.
