WASHINGTON – TOMORROW, June 26, 2014, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew will deliver closing remarks at the Making Home Affordable (MHA) Fifth Anniversary Summit, which will bring together key stakeholders from across the country to discuss best practices in the MHA program. During his remarks, the Secretary will announce additional policies to assist struggling homeowners, provide more affordable housing options for renters, and expand access to credit for borrowers. These new efforts build on previous Administration initiatives that helped stabilize the housing market by providing direct assistance to struggling homeowners and transforming the manner in which the housing industry responded to the financial crisis.
Before speaking at the Summit, Secretary Lew will meet with homeowners, housing counselors and the leadership of the Greater Washington Urban League (GWUL). The Greater Washington Urban League is a non-profit organization that provides direct services and advocacy to more than 65,000 individuals each year and manages and administers about 30 programs in the areas of education, employment and housing and community development. There will be a photo spray opportunity of the Secretary’s visit.
