Summary:

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Donovan will be answering your housing refinance questions via video response. Ask us @WhiteHouse using the hashtag #WhyRefi, on our Facebook wall, on our Google+ page or on this webform on Whitehouse.gov.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been telling you about President Obama’s plan to cut through the red tape that’s been preventing many homeowners from refinancing their mortgages and saving hundreds of dollars each month. We’ve been soliciting your feedback and asking you to raise your voice in support, and so far your response has been overwhelming. Since then more than 50,000 Americans have joined the conversation about this important issue.

Many of you had questions about the plan and how it would impact you and your community, so we asked Jim Parrott, Senior Advisor for Housing at the National Economic Council to record a few video responses below.
