NeighborWorks America with StableCommunities.org, have released Post-Foreclosure Community Stabilization Strategies: Case Studies and Early Lessons 2008 that looks at 14 case studies, representing 13 different nonprofit organizations, outlining strategies that those nonprofits employ to help to begin repairing damaged communities.

Released in December 2008, the report aims to give several examples: organizations expanding access to capital; bulk acquisition of distressed or REO property; strategic interventions grounded in neighborhood plans; strengthening neighborhoods through strengthening families; and forming partnerships to improve access to technical assistance, capital, and distressed housing inventory.
