		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Nearly two years into the recession that began in December 2007, national efforts to spur recovery and provide relief to U.S. workers and families must reach more deeply into communities of color, says NCLR (National Council of La Raza), the largest national Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States. Data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that Hispanics and Blacks continue to be unemployed at rates far higher than the nation overall. The September 2009 unemployment rate of 9.8% is slightly higher than it was in August, with Latino unemployment dropping slightly to 12.7% but Black unemployment rising to 15.4%.<br />
<br />
Today’s unemployment figures underscore the need to ensure that federal recovery programs effectively reach minorities, a message highlighted in a congressional hearing last week by labor market experts and civil rights organizations. At the hearing, NCLR President and CEO Janet Murguía emphasized that a full recovery is impossible without strong efforts to help minority workers attain high-quality jobs. Since the beginning of the recession, more than one million Latinos have lost their jobs, and more than 400,000 Latino families are predicted to lose their homes to foreclosure this year alone.<br />
<br />
“There are some who say that unemployment reveals nothing about our nation’s economic health. But families who have endured months without a steady income and workers who continue to search tirelessly for jobs know better,” said Murguía. “Latinos want the same opportunity as other Americans to earn a living that allows them to provide for their families. An unemployment rate for minority workers that outstrips the national average should be telling policymakers that we must do more to ensure that all families and workers benefit equitably from our national recovery efforts.”<br />
<br />
“Despite some encouraging signs that the economy may be beginning to rebound, unemployment continues to be a serious problem for many Americans,” said Heather Boushey, Senior Economist at the Center for American Progress. “The economic recovery cannot be completed unless we put the unemployed back to work in good jobs and in a position to help bolster the country’s economic strength.”<br />
<br />
“We’ve always been deeply concerned about disparities in the unemployment rate, particularly when it comes to racial and ethnic minority Americans. This most recent reporting indicates, indeed, that an already troubling unemployment rate for African Americans has become even worse. We must work as a nation to make sure that all Americans, even those who find themselves ‘the least of these,’ must be taken into consideration as we move toward a solution,” said Hilary Shelton, Director of NAACP Washington Bureau/Senior Vice President for Advocacy and Policy.<br />
<br />
“The consequences of unemployment on poverty are particularly frightening. The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) estimates that as unemployment peaks, more than one-half of Black children will live in poverty. However, even prior to the recession, one-third of black children lived in poverty. For a recovery to change these outcomes, it must be not only robust, but also targeted to reduce these persistent inequalities,” said Christian Dorsey, Director of External and Government Affairs at the Economic Policy Institute.<br />
<br />
“This month’s unemployment numbers continue to illustrate that minority populations are being hit the hardest in this economic downturn. In order to ensure that these most vulnerable populations experience an economic recovery, we must be able to have the resources necessary to continue to provide key job training and employment services for these populations. The Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs and its member organizations stand ready to work with Congress and the president to make sure that the needs of farmworkers and Latino families across the United States are included in federally funded relief efforts,” said David Strauss, Executive Director of the Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs.</blockquote>

		<title>The foreclosure crisis has brought a particular set of issues to Latino immigrants in the Kansas City area. Because of language barriers and the lack of a credit history, many immigrants are vulnerable to predatory lenders. They haven&#8217;t faced more foreclosures than other groups. But when they do have housing problems, there are a few places where they can turn for help.</title>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"VivaReal.us is currently the fastest growing bilingual real estate website in the United States. During the last quarter of 2008 it tripled unique visitors and quadrupled page views. With the addition of foreclosure listings and its continued online marketing efforts, the site expects to sustain its rapid growth in 2009 already hitting record highs during the first part of January.<br />
<br />
The Hispanic market in the United States is a large group, comprising over 45 million people and an estimated 1 trillion dollars in purchasing power by 2010. Currently, there is a scarcity of resources designed for this community to help them access foreclosure listings. Latinos are a younger population than the rest of the United States, about 28 years old on average. This means they are entering their prime home buying years. Foreclosures in cities Miami or Los Angeles may result in good opportunities for those starting out. The losses of many may result in long-lasting beginnings for first time buyers.<br />
<br />
VivaReal.us has been proactive in providing resources and information about how to avoid foreclosure. In 2007, the site released numerous videos about the topic advising its visitors in Spanish about what steps to take if they are behind on their payments or at risk of foreclosure. Last year VivaReal also helped NAHREP (the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals) to put out the Spanish version of the book, The American Nightmare: Strategies for Preventing, Surviving and Overcoming Foreclosure. VivaReal translated the entire book from English to Spanish.<br />
<br />
Foreclosure Listings can be found by clicking here: http://vivareal.foreclosure.com/<br />
<br />
VivaReal.us - http://www.vivareal.us - is the official website of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), a non-profit with over 15,000 members nationwide and advocate for increasing the sustainable homeownership in the Hispanic community. VivaReal.us is part of the VivaReal Network, a series of real estate sites in the Americas. The VivaReal Network is owned and operated by Bilingual Marketing Group, LLC. "</blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"The American Nightmare is a new book by veteran housing counselors Sylvia Alvarez and Walter Walker Jr. that offers distressed homeowners tips and strategies that can help them avoid, survive and overcome foreclosure. Published in partnership with the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), free downloadable excerpts of The American Nightmare are available in English and Spanish at www.NAHREP.org and include pointers that will help desperate homeowners from becoming the target of short sale and foreclosure scams.<br />
<br />
A link is also provided to purchase the book (http://foreclosuretheamericannightmare.net/index.aspx) for $14.95.<br />
<br />
Unsuspecting homeowners that are frantic for a quick fix to avoid foreclosure are becoming the victims of foreclosure scams that promise to save them from the loss of their homes. Many are paying thousands to thieves disguised as well meaning professionals that offer to repay their mortgage in exchange for the transfer of their deeds. The authors were inspired to write the book after being deluged at the housing agency where they work by people who have fallen prey to these mortgage scams and others. In addition to practical advice about how to avoid foreclosure, negotiate loan modifications or short sales and more, the book educates readers about the clever ways predators are bilking consumers.<br />
<br />
FREE downloadable excerpts (http://www.nahrep.org/american_nightmare/foreclosure-options.html) of the book offer homeowners information about:<br />
<br />
- Common predatory lending scams (http://www.nahrep.org/american_nightmare/foreclosure-scams.html)<br />
<br />
- Short sale and "flip for profit" scams;<br />
<br />
- Equity skimming scams that leave homeowners with more debt and no house;<br />
<br />
- Phony counseling agencies;<br />
<br />
- How to file a complaint and report mortgage fraud;<br />
<br />
- Plus options that homeowners can pursue if they are already in mortgage default (http://www.nahrep.org/american_nightmare/mortgage-default.html).<br />
<br />
"Too many panicked homeowners that are looking for ways to save their homes are falling prey to unscrupulous people and foreclosure scams," said Rebecca Gallardo-Serrano, Chairman of NAHREP. "Knowledge is power. The American Nightmare offers homeowners important information about the types of scams out there and how they can protect themselves from predators."<br />
<br />
The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, a non-profit 501c6 trade association, is dedicated to increasing the homeownership rate among Latinos by educating and empowering the real estate professionals that serve them. Based in Washington D.C., NAHREP is the premier trade organization for Hispanics and has more than 15,500 members in 48 states and 62 affiliate chapters."</blockquote>
