Register for Session 9 of Data Talks: Navigating Tangled Titles

June 30, 2025

Join the Housing Solutions Lab for a free, 45-minute lunchtime webinar, the ninth of our Data Talks series. This episode will focus on how cities can use local data sources to identify, analyze, and address tangled title issues in their communities.

Join us on Thursday, July 10, starting at 12 p.m. Ryan Brenner, Research Analyst at the NYU Furman Center, will provide an overview on tangled titles, from the causes of title issues to the risks they pose to residents and cities alike. A fireside chat will follow with Vinita Wagh, Project Manager at Detroit Future City. She will share her approach to tracking heirs’ properties in Detroit and how other localities can learn from her experiences. Register below for Session 9 of Data Talks: Navigating Tangled Titles to join the live session, where you will be able to ask the panelists your questions.

In November 2023, the Lab launched a series of mini-webinars to tackle topics related to using local data to inform housing policy. Each webinar will be held on a Thursday from 12 noon to 12:45 p.m. Tune in for a short presentation, a fireside chat with a city or housing authority partner about their experience with using or collecting local data, and plenty of time for a Q&A. Watch previous episodes of Data Talks. Don’t forget to join our mailing list to stay in the loop as we open registration for future sessions.
