| Immergluck, Dan | University of California-Berkeley; John D. and Catherin T. MacArthur Foundation | Regional Resilience to Foreclosures - Researchers examined response to foreclosures in six metropolitan areas: St. Louis; Cleveland; East Bay (CA); Riverside; Chicago; and Atlanta. The first two are classic weak market metro areas, the second two are traditionally strong market metros, and the last two might be called “mixed-market” metros. One of the basic lessons of the research was that the differences between traditionally strong and weak market metropolitan areas must be taken into account when designing policy responses at the local, state, and federal level. | 2008 | 2008 |
| Immgergluck, Dan | The Annie E. Casey Foundation | Identifying Promising Policies and Programs to Reduce Foreclosures - This project is aimed at identifying promising approaches to reduce foreclosures in nonjudicial (or statutory or power of sale) foreclosure states. While many local and state efforts have been implemented toward this end, many of the measures receiving the most attention have occurred in the context of states with judicial foreclosure regimes. Given that approximately 30 states are primarily nonjudicial foreclosure states (i.e., where most residential foreclosures do not go through the courts), it is important to understand the opportunities for foreclosure reduction in such states. | 2010 | 2010 |
