The Tax Policy Center and Lincoln Institute of Land Policy host a two-day conference beginning today on Effects of the Housing Crisis on State and Local Governments:
This conference will explore how state and local governments are responding to the severe budgetary shortfalls precipitated by the sharp decline in housing values and the subsequent economic downturn. Participants will discuss regional differences in housing market outcomes and economic activity, the adequacy of current tax systems, what housing foreclosures mean for children, and lessons from other countries.
