Teleconference to Examine State of Latino Homeownership
An upcoming teleconference — featuring Henry G. Cisneros, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and founder and chairman of CityView, and NAHB Chief Economist David Seiders ― will examine the state of Latino homeownership. Dean Mon, NAHB national vice president for New York and New Jersey, will moderate the call.
The teleconference will be held 2:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Sept. 21.
Hispanics, the nation’s fastest-growing minority, make up 14.5% of total U.S. population and are projected to account for 17.8% of the nation’s population by the year 2020.
Cisneros will discuss the needs of the Hispanic market and how it is driving change in home and community design, as described in his new book, "Casa y Comunidad: Latino Home and Neighborhood Design."
Seiders will address the impact of Latinos on the overall housing market.
To participate in the teleconference, call 800-860-2442 and ask for the “NAHB Latino Homeownership” call.
Presentations and reference materials will be available for download at www.nahb.org/latinohomes, 10 minutes before the teleconference.
 Are You Prepared for the New Emerging Market?
"Casa y Comunidad: Latino and Neighborhood Design,” available through BuilderBooks.com, takes the first-ever look at the growing and increasingly prosperous U.S. Latino community and its housing needs and helps all segments of the housing industry to understand and prepare for this emerging market.
The publication was written by Henry G. Cisneros, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and founder and chairman of CityView, which partners with home builders to provide workforce housing.
