The National League of Cities (NLC) Center for Research and Innovation has issued a report looking at case studies from six cities across the country and their responses to the home mortgage foreclosure crisis.

The report examines the actions taken by these communities and shares their experiences in partnerships, leveraging resources, local leadership and targeting federal funding. 

Interviews were conducted with elected officials, nonprofit housing organizations, civic leaders, bankers, developers, housing activists and advocates and other observers of housing and policy work.

Arnold Weinfeld is Director of Strategic Initiatives and Federal Affairs for the Michigan Municipal League. He can be reached at 517-908-0304 or by e-mail.
