SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 4 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act of
1965 (HUD Act) (42 U.S.C. 3533(g)(4)) requires the Secretary to appoint
an advisory committee of not more than 12 individuals to provide advice
to the Director of the Office of Housing Counseling (OHC) regarding the
Housing Counseling Program. The membership of the committee must
equally represent the mortgage and real estate industry, including
consumers and HUD-appointed housing counseling agencies. Each member
serves in his or her individual capacity for a term of up to 3 years.
HUD established the Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee
(HCFAC) on April 14, 2015. The HFCAC provides OHC valuable advice
regarding its mission to provide individuals and families with the
knowledge they need to obtain, sustain, and improve their housing
through a strong network of HUD-approved housing counseling agencies
and HUD-certified counselors. The HCFAC, however, does not have any
role in reviewing or awarding OHC housing counseling grants or
procurement contracts.
The HFCAC is subject to the requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.). Further
information about the HFCAC is available on HUD's website at <a href="https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/sfh/hcc/housing_counseling">https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/housing/sfh/hcc/housing_counseling</a> and on
