Description

Because the intertwined problems of foreclosure and mortgage fraud have reached crisis proportions they are threatening the stability of entire neighborhoods, making the search for effective responses a priority not only for bankers and real estate brokers but also local governments, Police departments, prosecutorsäó»offices, and community groups. The problem on the ground for the hardest hit communities is that foreclosures and mortgage fraud are fueling a dramatic rise in the number of vacant and abandoned properties. These properties can generate a host of interrelated problems: crime, homelessness, and strains on municipal services, as well as safety hazards and lower property values. In many jurisdictions, the number and location of foreclosed and vacant properties is changing so rapidly that officials have trouble counting them, let alone formulating a meaningful response. This report is intended to serve as a guide to government and law enforcement officials across the U.S. seeking to address these challenges in their own communities. This is a print on demand report.
