HUD taps new member of its Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the chair of the Housing Appropriations Subcommittee, has announced the appointment of Glen Holmes to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee (HCFAC).

HCFAC is made up of 12 members that represent the mortgage and real estate industry, consumers, and HUD-approved housing counseling agencies. The committee advises HUD’s Office of Housing Counseling (OHC) on ways to improve its delivery of strategic planning and policy guidance.

Holmes also serves as president of the Community Concepts Finance (CCFC) where he manages the daily operations of the $12 million nonprofit community development financial institution. He is also responsible for planning, designing, and implementing a strategy that outlines the direction and future vision of CCFC.

“Glen’s expertise in homeownership and financing, combined with his professional experience directing a HUD-approved housing counseling agency, make him an excellent choice to serve on the Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee,” said Collins. “Growing up and now working in Maine, Glen has a deep understanding of the challenges that low-income individuals and families in our state face in obtaining stable housing.”
