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.
