The 2008 Christopher T. Hurley Lecture
"Reverse Mortgages: Keeping Seniors in Their Homes - But at What Price?"
April 21, 2008 - 6:00 p.m.
Loyola Law Center
Rubloff Auditorium
25 E. Pearson St., Chicago
Reverse mortgages enable older homeowners to access their home equity without having to sell their homes or make payments. While appealing to seniors who wish to remain in their own homes, costs are high and seniors remain wary. The speaker will discuss research conducted by AARP examining why seniors choose to obtain (or not to obtain) reverse mortgages, consumer experiences with lenders and counselors, and the degree of consumer satisfaction. Based on this research, the speaker will discuss AARP's recommendations to improve the reverse mortgage market.
Speaker Donald Redfoot has worked for 12 years as a Strategic Policy Advisor in AARP’s Public Policy Institute. He conducts and supervises public policy research on assisted living, long-term care options, and reverse mortgages. Redfoot served eight years as a lobbyist for AARP on housing and assisted living issues.
