CHAPA STATEWIDE FORECLOSURE CONFERENCE

June 24, 2009

Wednesday, June 24, 2009
8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, MA
SPONSOR: Citizens’ Housing and Planning Association

For more information please visit www.chapa.org

In 2008, foreclosure deeds totaled nearly 13,000 in Massachusetts, an increase of 400% since 2006.
While foreclosures have affected all regions of the state, they have been disproportionately concentrated
in low and moderate income neighborhoods.

Local, state, and federal governments have launched a variety of programs and initiatives to reduce
foreclosures and stabilize neighborhoods impacted by foreclosed properties. Most recently, President
Obama announced a broad-based plan to assist seven to nine million homeowners across the country.
This conference will focus on implementation of these initiatives at the local level. What strategies have
been effective? What more needs to be done to stem the tide of foreclosures?

The conference is geared towards a wide audience including municipal officials, housing counselors, lenders, community-based
developers, advocates, practitioners, policy makers, and others.
