Description

What is receivership? A code enforcement tool? A way to build affordable homes? A business opportunity? Spoiler alert: it’s all of the above! Our new Receivership Series will explain receivership, how someone becomes a receiver, and how nonprofits can work with receivers to develop affordable homeownership opportunities in their communities.

Session 1 will present a general overview of receivership, including the statutory and regulatory code enforcement framework, the court process, and the various ways to finance receivership.

This series is designed for:

• Contractors and rental property managers who are interested in learning more about receivership and how to become a receiver.
• Municipal code enforcement and law department officials.
• People who support affordable homeownership development as staff at CDCs.
• Lawyers interested in learning how to incorporate receivership cases into their practices.
•  

All attendees, and in particular those with limited exposure to receivership, are encouraged to attend Session 1 in addition to Session 2 and Session 3.

Confirmed panelists to date include:

• Judge Dina Fein, retired Housing Court judge
• Assistant Attorney General Amber Villa, Chief of the AGO’s Neighborhood Renewal Division
• Mayor Christopher Johnson, Receiver and attorney representing receivers, Mayor of Agawam, MA
• John Gilbert, Vice President of Real Estate Development at Way Finders
