In the wake of the ongoing national mortgage crisis, municipalities are struggling to address the rising number of foreclosures in their communities. How do the responses of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in St. Louis compare to those in other areas? What can metropolitan areas do both to reduce the number of foreclosures and to mitigate their negative effects?
Join us on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 3:00 p.m. for a panel discussion on "Metropolitan Responses to the Foreclosure Crisis." The panel will examine the responses of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in six metropolitan areas, including St. Louis, and discuss ways to stabilize communities struggling with foreclosure.
