  Join us for our next free monthly webinar program coming on Wednesday, October 1st at noon. This month's panelist is Retired Housing Court Judge Dina Fein.

  Judge Fein will discuss the use of receivership as both a code enforcement remedy, and a tool for transforming vacant distressed residential properties into affordable first-time homeownership opportunities.  The discussion will focus on cross-sector collaboration among municipal officials and lawyers, nonprofits, funders, and the courts.

  This free program is open to all our members and any of your interested local officials. 

  Meeting and program materials links are included in your confirmation email after registering and also will be sent via email to all registrants the week of the program.
