The Regional Conferences will bring together leading academic experts,
consumer and community organizations, industry groups, market
participants, and other stakeholders from across the country for an
open discussion about housing finance reform. Treasury and HUD senior
staff members will host the Regional Conferences and moderate
discussions on a broad range of topics relating to the future of
housing finance.
The Regional Conferences will build upon the Administration's ongoing
efforts to gather input on the future of housing finance reform from a
broad cross-section of stakeholders.
The Administration also hosted a Regional Conference in Cleveland on
Monday, September 27.
In August, the Administration convened a Conference on the Future of
Housing Finance in Washington, DC. And then in April, Treasury and HUD
issued a set of questions for public comment on the future of the
housing finance system, which received more than 300 responses from a
broad cross-section of consumer groups, industry groups, market
participants, members of the public, think tanks, and other
stakeholders. These responses will help provide additional input and
perspective as the Obama Administration moves forward to develop its
comprehensive reform proposal. To view these responses to the
questions for public comment, please visit: here and here.)
