NEW ORLEANS — In his keynote address at the opening session of the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions' Serving the Underserved Conference, NCUA Vice Chairman Rodney Hood pointed out that June is National Homeownership Month and encouraged credit unions to increase homeownership among the underserved.

Hood commented, "from an economic standpoint, lifting homeownership rates for all Americans has never been more important.
