New on PolicyForResults.org: State Policies to Reduce Home Foreclosures

Check out the new content on PolicyforResults.org about how state policymakers can reduce home foreclosures.

Although federal policy governs many of the transactions involved in home foreclosures, state policy plays an important role as well. A number of states are pursuing strategies that are considered promising by experts in the field. These include requiring mediation in foreclosures, creating a moratorium on foreclosures, enacting protections against predatory mortgage lending, and providing counseling and financial assistance.
