The panel is expected to meet this summer and fall and will be led by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and House Speaker Jon Burns.

We hope we can be part of the solution to help the first-time home buyer save up to purchase a starter home for their growing family all the way to the retiree couple that is downsizing to buy their very last home.
