Research on Foreclosures and Crime deadline: june 1



National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks to fund research proposals that explore and explain the links between place and
crime in the specific context of the recent wave of residential property foreclosures. In this context, proposals may address
either short-term or long-term patterns linking place and crime. Applications proposing research should explain how the
proposed project will fill a critical gap in the field’s knowledge and practice as well as identifying policy implications related
to criminal justice.

Between 1970 and 2000, the home foreclosure rate in the United States did not rise above 1.1 percent. Between 2001
and 2006, the foreclosure rate increased to as high as 20 percent. This abrupt shift in the 30-year pattern of foreclosures
led researchers and policymakers alike to question the effects of this issue on urban problems, including crime. This solici-
tation seeks research proposals to examine the links between foreclosures, vacant properties, and crime.

H0260 - Counseling Borrowers to Purchase Real Estate Owned (REO) Properties

“In today’s real estate market borrowers who are interested in purchasing a home will likely
consider the growing inventory of Real Estate Owned (REO) property. These properties
may offer attractive pricing, but also present hidden challenges and pitfalls to potential buy-
ers. Homeownership counselors, providing comprehensive individual counseling, can equip
clients with timely information to make informed decisions and protect their future asset.
Participants attending this course will learn:

Who is selling these properties (from nonprofits, municipalities, banks, etc.); How to assist
your client through careful analysis of the sales contract; How to engage home inspectors
and avoid the pitfalls of purchasing “”as is”” properties; How to determine if special financing
may be available for clients purchasing REO properties.; What are the counseling program
details of HUD’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and how to determine if this
program can help meet the needs of your clients.”

Tuesday, May 28, 2010


H0104 - Understanding Credit Scoring

Most lenders utilize credit scoring as a tool to help evaluate the credit risk of borrowers. This
is certainly the case with many mortgage lenders. Credit scores aid lenders in predicting how
creditworthy a borrower is or how likely they are to repay the debt. Many lenders also incor-
porate risk based pricing into their credit decisions based upon the credit score. With this
knowledge, homeownership educators and counselors are better prepared to help clients
improve their credit scores and positively impact their financial status.

Wednesday – Friday, May 19 – 21, 2010


H0108 – Loan Servicing and Collections

This course will review the policies, procedures and accounting systems that nonprofit lend-
ers and servicers must use to maintain their mortgage loan portfolios and prevent losses.
You will examine effective documentation systems and learn practical techniques for con-
trolling risks and avoiding default and foreclosure. Conventional and FHA default and loss
mitigation processes will be examined and discussed. Case studies are utilized through
interactive exercises as a learning tool. Recommended for staff, management and board
members concerned with improving servicing and collections operations.
