• Release of a new AARP Public Policy Institute study of how the foreclosure crisis has affected older Americans.
• Analysis of policy options to address the crisis, with a focus on overcoming barriers to loan modifications.
• Discussion of proposals to prevent future crises, including reforms to the Truth in Lending Act.
