Housing

Homeownership

Owning a home remains a key aspiration for US consumers. Homeownership is the largest single investment most households ever make, and homeownership is the most important generator of household and intergenerational wealth. CFA works with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), HUD, FHA, the Department of the Treasury and the White House to insure that mortgage lending is appropriately regulated to insure consumers can access sustainable mortgages. We work hard to prevent unscrupulous and predatory practices that can rob consumers of equity and put them in unsustainable mortgage products.
