HUD Secretary Martinez to Open NCRC's Annual Conference

Dear Colleagues:

The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) is pleased to announce
that HUD Secretary Mel Martinez will deliver the opening keynote speech at NCRC's
annual conference held in Washington DC from March 12 - 15.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has launched an ambitious
and controversial project to reform their regulations implementing the Real
Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). *The RESPA regulations describe
how mortgage costs and fees must be disclosed to borrowers. *Hear the
Secretary describe how his proposed reform will fight predatory lending and
fee gouging.

HUD has proposed rules to clamp down on property flipping, appraisal fraud,
and other persistent problems in the FHA mortgage program. *Listen to an
update on this front from the Secretary.

HUD has committed itself to a goal of 5.5 million new minority homeowners by
the end of the decade. *The Secretary will discuss how he intends to
accomplish this goal of expanding the American Dream of Homeownership and
protecting new homeowners from predatory lenders.
