Forum Conference Call Series
ICIC and the Forum hosted a Conference Call Series on "Foreclosures and the Inner City Economy"
|
"Our analysis supports the notion that inner cities were hit harder and hit first [by the US foreclosure crisis]. But the mildly good news for inner cities is that rate of increase in Real Estate Owned properties in 2008 was much lower in inner cities than it was in the rest of the United States."
- Teresa Lynch, ICIC Director of Research,
"Foreclosures and Inner City Economy" conference call, March 12, 2009.
