Examining Successful Collaborations and Ongoing Barriers to Foreclosure Prevention
Introduction
In November 2008, the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Consumer
and Community Affairs division
convened “Examining Successful
Collaborations and Ongoing Barriers to
Foreclosure Prevention.” The foreclosure
crisis has continued to impact the nation,
including the Federal Reserve’s Seventh
District; this conference was one in a
series that the Chicago Fed has
organized since the foreclosure crisis
emerged. The conference brought
together experts who addressed the
issues and concerns surrounding
Wisconsin’s increasing number of
foreclosures. This article briefly
summarizes key information shared at
the conference and provides updates on
issues of continuing concern.
