Washington, DC—The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) will host a one-day gathering of advocates, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to create a new agenda to promote financial security among low-income communities on Thursday, June 26 beginning at 8:30 a.m.  Many in the financial community are worried that predatory lending threatens to undo decades of work by advocates and practitioners in helping vulnerable communities build wealth.  As a result of the increasing number of Latino families that face rising rates of foreclosures, credit card delinquencies, and household debt, a panel of experts will explore possible remedies to mitigate this economic crisis.
