A new report from LISC and Urban Institute, Reclaiming Vacant Houses & Preventing Foreclosure: Lessons from LISC’s New York State Vacants Initiative, provides a flexible model. The report describes in concrete detail how a New York State law, proceeds from an Attorney General's settlement with banks responsible for the foreclosure crisis, and an initiative stewarded by LISC has helped municipalities across New York State improve some 11,000 homes.
