A message from NAHB Chairman Dean Mon to fellow members:

I am excited to announce that Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, will participate in a webinar with NAHB members on Tuesday, April 28, at 11 a.m. ET.

Federal Housing Commissioner Brian Montgomery will join Secretary Carson to address HUD and FHA initiatives in response to the economic crisis caused by the novel coronavirus.

Single-family and multifamily builders, remodelers and related companies are looking to HUD to ensure that critical housing and mortgage insurance programs are operating effectively during this challenging time. This webinar will give NAHB members an opportunity to hear about HUD’s actions and plans from the nation’s top housing policy officials.

Secretary Carson will talk about HUD’s efforts to address the needs of housing market stakeholders — builders, developers, remodelers, homeowners, renters, and home buyers.

Commissioner Montgomery will provide details and answer questions about HUD and FHA operations and policies developed or expanded in response to the current economic environment.

The two housing policy officials will address single-family and multifamily mortgage forbearance, rental assistance, and policies designed to support the housing market. They will discuss initiatives at FHA and Ginnie Mae, as well as grant programs, public housing and HUD’s broad range of efforts to strengthen the housing industry.

The webinar with Secretary Carson and Commissioner Montgomery will take place at 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday, April 28. Click here to register (member log-in required) for this exceptional webinar.

Special thanks to NAHB CEO Jerry Howard for arranging this special event.

I encourage all NAHB members to take advantage of the extraordinary opportunity to connect with the leadership at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
