Sen. Bob Menendez (NJ), a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, and Rep. Albio Sires (NJ-13), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, will react to the findings and discuss their roles as legislators in addressing the recommendations. CHCI Chairman Rep. Joe Baca (CA-43) will moderate the event.

As the rate of home foreclosure in the United States continues to increase, minorities, and especially Latinos, continue to be disproportionately affected. An estimated one in twelve loans to Latinos will end in foreclosure. Decision-makers at government, corporate and advocacy levels face challenges to promoting solutions without reducing access to homeownership.
