Washington, D.C. — On Friday, November 30 the Federal Housing Administration’s Acting Commissioner Carol Galante will join a panel of distinguished housing experts and The Wall Street Journal‘s Nick Timiros to put Federal Housing Administration’s financial problems in perspective by addressing the major findings from the agency’s 2012 actuarial review and annual report to Congress.
For close to 80 years the Federal Housing Administration has helped millions of families achieve homeownership and has promoted stability in the U.S. housing market. But in the wake of the worst housing crisis since the Great Depression, the agency is facing mounting losses. Our panel will discuss the agency’s findings, the role the administration has played in recent years, and what lessons we can learn for the future.
