The publication, “REO and Vacant Properties,”2 is a compendium of papers by national experts that highlight their key ideas regarding the disposition of vacant properties.
Last November, the papers were presented publicly at a forum at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C., where more than 100 participants shared ideas and lessons learned about community stabilization.3 In addition, last year, the Federal Reserve worked with other federal regulators to encourage neighborhood stabilization activities through the Community Reinvestment Act.
