NSP webinar series: Disposition strategies

Webcast Event - September 29, 2009; 2:00 - 4:00 PM

About the Series

As the foreclosure crisis continues across the country, communities are experiencing ever growing numbers of foreclosed properties and the negative effects they cause. With neighborhood stabilization efforts already underway using the first round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds, this series of webinars will provide practitioners an opportunity to learn new strategies and hear about best practices that will further enhance their programs.

The series will run four Tuesdays in a row--September 15, 22, 29 and October 6. Each session will start with a webinar from 2-3p.m. EDT. Directly following the webinar, from 3-4p.m. EDT, presenters will be available to answer your written questions. You must register for each webinar separately. For the online discussion portion of each session, registration on the Forum is only required at your first visit.
