  10. CCIA Monthly Meeting - Online via Zoom THIS SUNDAY January 15th, 2023 5:30pm CT ZOMBIE FORECLOSURES with M. Jane Garvey and Tony Youngs Zombie foreclosures may not refer to the walking dead, but they can be just as scary for homeowners and communities. Join us as we explore: How and why do properties and people end up in this situation? Why wouldn’t the bank finish the foreclosure? Wouldn’t these properties go to tax sale/tax deed? If you find one of them, how do you clear the title? If someone gave the bank a deed-in-lieu could it still be a zombie? How to buy a Zombie Foreclosure Are there free and clear zombie properties? A zombie foreclosure refers to a situation where a homeowner vacates their property after receiving a notice of default, expecting they will lose the home in the pending foreclosure. The foreclosure may get canceled for any number of reasons and never completed. This means the house title will remain with the homeowner, who may not even know they still own the home and are financially responsible for it. So why is it called a zombie foreclosure? Like its namesake, the house is essentially dead, growing more decayed and decrepit over time, but its mere presence can continue to cause harm to its former owners and the community around it. JOIN US! A rather startling piece on ABC News talked about Chicago homeowners being stuck with expensive fines for “zombie foreclosures’ on ‘zombie properties’. “One woman is being haunted by a property that was sold almost 60 years ago, another getting her wages garnished.” MEETING AGENDA 5:30PM - Informal Networking Informal Networking - open discussion and Q/A 6:00PM - Main Meeting Benefits & Updates - with Jane Garvey CCIA Announcements A Few Minutes with Steve...

  14. Legislative Update w IRPOA - Dec 20th 7PM CT As we head into 2023 there are several new laws that Illinois housing providers need to be aware of. Top of the list is the expansion of "Source of Income" as a protected class throughout Illinois. This is a result of the passage of HB2775 last summer. In this Zoom meeting we will discuss all of the new laws that you need to be aware of. We will probably spend the bulk of the time discussing changes in business practices that will be required by the Source of Income legislation. We will also be discussing what happened in the Fall "Veto" session that just ended. The next session in Springfield is the "lame duck" session in January. The discussion will be led by Jane Garvey of CCIA, and Andrew Timms of CIPP. Please register in advance for this free event.

What are your opportunities for improvement? What things are working well for you? What things can be improved? How are the people in your circle supporting you?... Or, are they? How are YOU supporting people in your circle?... Or, are you? Join us for this thought provoking discussion! It is not what life deals us that counts, it’s what we make out of it.
