BECOME A COURT APPOINTED RECEIVER

This program mentors local stakeholders, contractors, and investors to use receivership to acquire, stabilize, and rehabilitate troubled buildings in the city of Chicago. Receivership helps to remove dangerous conditions, keep vacant properties secure and provide an estimate of cost to restore properties to their productive use.

The court receivership training program aims to familiarize developers and home buyers with the various details of the receivership program, court process and accounting principles in order to demystify the receivership process and increase minority participation in Black & Brown communities.

What Information You’ll Get:

  • Module 1 – What is a Receiver?
  • Module 2 – Feasibility | Property & Preservation
  • Module 3 – Court Orders | Accounting
  • Module 4 – Funding | Forfeiture
  • Module 5 – Technical Assistance | Review | Exam

The idea behind the troubled buildings initiative has always been to preserve living conditions instead of vacating and demolishing problem buildings, but without Black & Brown participation other interest have been served.

This is training provides a clear path to knowledge and key resources to have a seat at the table in your community. Register now so you’ll be alert when the next training is scheduled in the coming weeks.
