NAR Supports Pilot Program to Incentivize Counseling

NAR sent a letter to Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) supporting the "Homeownership Preservation Education Act of 2012". 

This legislation would direct FHA to create a pilot program that would provide first-time homebuyers with an opportunity to reduce their insurance premiums by participating in homeownership counseling.  The pilot program would be limited to one-year and FHA would be required to report to Congress on the program's progress. 

The legislation has been referred to the House Financial Services Committee.
