| WHY: |
With an economic crisis as devastating as any since the Great Depression, the financial well-being of the nation’s most vulnerable communities is at risk. Last year, NCLR engaged a number of experts in the housing and financial fields to identify ways to restore traditional paths to financial security: homeownership, savings, and access to credit. With dismal economic numbers making the headlines on a daily basis, NCLR is calling for solutions that get to the root of the problem. Reduce foreclosures. Bring credit back to the community. In this conference call, we hear an update on the status of Latino homeowners and consumers and highlight two major proposals for restoring the financial safety net in all communities.
