The recent extended credit crisis has caused a record number of home foreclosures. While tragic for homeowners, this also presents considerable difficulties for banks and credit unions. Home foreclosures often require banks to take possession and forcing them to sell the properties at a loss. The key to minimizing these risks is to take steps internally to help prevent at least some foreclosures.
The Knowledge Congress has assembled a group of key thought leaders in this area who will help your institution understand how to take preventive measures in this area. The group will present their findings in an upcoming webinar.

About National Council of State Housing Agencies
The National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) is a nonprofit organization created more than 30 years ago to coordinate and leverage state Housing Finance Agencies’ (HFA) federal advocacy efforts for affordable housing. NCSHA’s members are the HFAs of every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, the agencies that allocate the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) in the two states where an HFA does not, and approximately 350 profit and nonprofit firms in the affordable housing field.
NCSHA represents its members in Washington before Congress, the Administration, and several federal agencies concerned with housing, including HUD and the Treasury, and with other advocates for affordable housing. At the center of HFA activity within the states and NCSHA’s work in Washington are three federally authorized programs: the Mortgage Revenue Bond (MRB), the Housing Credit, and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program. NCSHA is the principal advocate in Washington for both MRBs and the Housing Credit and the principal state advocate for HOME.
