Consumer Affairs Advisory Council

The Consumer Affairs Advisory Council (Council) promotes better dialogue and understanding between leaders from the mortgage industry and the public interest sector – especially those who represent the consumer and civil rights communities.  The goal of the Council is to foster a mutual appreciation for the different perspectives and challenges in addressing key business and policy issues in the housing finance arena, and to identify concrete opportunities for collaboration.
