NAHREP’s 25-Year Legacy in Homeownership and Housing Policy Takes Center Stage in Washington, D.C.
Senior Policymakers, Industry Leaders, and Housing Experts Convene to Shape the Future of Hispanic Homeownership
SAN DIEGO— March 17, 2025—With Hispanic Homeownership at a pivotal moment, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® (NAHREP®)—the largest Latino business organization in the nation—is celebrating its 25th anniversary with its annual Homeownership and Housing Policy Conference, which will be held in Washington, D.C., from March 24 to 26. The conference, sponsored by Chase, will serve as one of the nation’s most influential forums for tackling housing affordability and mortgage accessibility.
“With an average age that is a full decade younger than the overall U.S. population, Latinos will be driving housing demand for decades, and we need smart economic policies that will ensure that all Americans will have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream of Homeownership,” said Oralia Herrera, 2025 NAHREP President. “This conference will bring together key decision-makers that have the power to make that happen.”
A key moment of the conference will be the release of NAHREP’s 2024 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report, a critical industry resource that provides data-driven insights into market trends, affordability issues, and industry practices affecting Hispanic homeownership. On Wednesday, March 26th, NAHREP will leverage its significant legislative influence by deploying over 400 members to 120 congressional offices to share key insights from the report and the organization’s policy priorities for 2025.
This year’s conference will gather policymakers, national media, and the industry’s most influential leaders. Some of the policy makers and housing experts confirmed to speak include:
- Rodney E. Hood, Acting Comptroller of the Currency
- Gabe Evans, (R-CO-8)
- Sylvia Garcia, (D-TX-29)
- Juan Vargas, (D-CA-52)
- Monica De La Cruz, (R-TX-15)
