The Five-Point Plan: Creating a Sustainable Path to Minority Homeownership

NAHREP, in conjunction with NAREB and AREAA, has created a Five-point Plan which outlines its position on key legislation that will most impact sustainable minority housing.

NAHREP calls for support of a five-point plan that:

Expands the scope of Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) functions to include loan servicing,
Mandates pre-purchase face-to-face homebuyer education and household budget management training,
Provides principal forgiveness for homeowners that are underwater on their mortgage and have more than 10 percent negative equity
Advocates the role of the GSE's and FHA to expand the flow of stable capital to the mortgage market
Promotes the role of a consumer protection agency that puts consumer interests first and is empowered to implement robust reforms that align industry practices with values that serve the common good.
