The Community Home Lenders Association (CHLA) is the distinctive voice in Washington for independent mortgage bankers (IMBs), fighting for federal housing policies that serve homeowners and create fair, competitive mortgages for IMBs.
In 2019 CHLA has been leading the fight to preserve FHA and Ginnie Mae's role in our mortgage markets and IMB access to those important programs.
Our DC conferences give members unparalleled small group access to senior federal housing officials and Members of Congress.
Our member-focused calls and agenda give Members the chance to discuss challenges and ideas with principals of IMB firms nationwide.
