Foreclosures are predicted to rise nationally over the next year. What are the foreclosure trends in Missouri? What
can your community do to stop the rising tide of foreclosure? What can local and state government do to reduce
foreclosures, keep families in their homes, stabilize communities and maintain their tax base? What help is
currently available for homeowners in your community?

On January 13 and 14, 2010  elected officials, community leaders, industry professionals and non-profit
housing agency directors and staff gathered in Jefferson City, Missouri to:

  • Learn about current foreclosure, fraud and loan performance trends
  • Learn about new consumer protection and residential lending laws
  • Engage in discussions with policy experts and housing professionals
  • Identify promising practices to preserve homeownership.

The next step is to draft a white paper that summarizes key points from the foreclosure prevention summit
along with best practice, policy and program ideas generated in the breakout groups.

The white paper will be posted here and distributed to community leaders, elected officials and summit
participants.
