National Hispanic Cannabis Council Launches, Aimed at Advancing Cannabis Education, Entrepreneurialism, and Economic Opportunity

March 25, 2021

DENVER, March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Hispanic Cannabis Council launched Thursday, aimed at empowering the U.S. Hispanic community through education, entrepreneurialism, and economic opportunity. With 36 states, having already legalized cannabis for medical use, the new national nonprofit organization aims to raise awareness around cannabis-related health, economic, and legal issues as well as promote participation and leadership in the legal cannabis industry, where Hispanics are currently underrepresented. It will also advocate for public policies that support its mission.

“Cannabis prohibition in the U.S. was founded in large part upon prejudice toward Mexican immigrants, and it has disproportionately impacted the Hispanic community ever since,” said Brian Vicente, a founding NHCC board member and partner at national cannabis law firm Vicente Sederberg LLP. “The NHCC will work to repair the damage caused by old prohibition policies and to ensure the Hispanic community benefits from the new legal systems coming online to replace them. We are excited to launch this organization at a time of unprecedented economic opportunity in the emerging legal cannabis industry.”

The NHCC will be comprised of individual and business members from across the U.S. and organized through local chapters. It will offer local education and networking events, as well as national opportunities to interact with subject matter experts in the fields of medicine, policy, advocacy, and other areas.

The NHCC was founded by cannabis business leaders representing a variety of prominent companies, including Can It Industries, LLC; Cresco Labs; Folsom and Forge; Moxie; Trulieve; and Vicente Sederberg LLP. It is governed by a national board of directors and led by executive director Antonio Valdez, a consumer marketing expert with over two decades of experience marketing to the Hispanic community. Valdez was instrumental in the launch of the nation’s first Hispanic trade association for the real estate industry, the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, where he served as a founding board member.

MoneyGram Launches New Business Line, MoneyGram as a Service, for Enterprise Customers

March 24, 2021

0

DALLAS and HOUSTON, March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MoneyGram International, Inc., a global leader in cross-border P2P payments and money transfers, today announced the launch of ‘MoneyGram as a Service,’ a new business line that enables other companies to access its leading global money transfer network through its powerful API-driven infrastructure and best-in-class technology. With this launch, enterprise customers can now leverage the Company’s core capabilities as productized service offerings to meet their various business needs and quickly add services and scale. The new business line represents a significant growth opportunity for MoneyGram as it enters a market estimated to be $17 billion in 2024 with a CAGR of about 24% over the forecast period.

“Today, we enter the next phase of our digital transformation as we open our modern, mobile, and API-driven platform to new businesses and use cases by launching MoneyGram as a Service,” said Alex Holmes, MoneyGram Chairman and CEO. “In response to strong market demand, we’ve developed this processing model to provide third-party access to our vast network, and we are thrilled to open our platform to G-Coin. This partnership is part of our strategy to capture new revenue by monetizing our capabilities, and we’re excited about the innovative potential of blockchain-driven digital assets as we continue to lead the evolution of digital P2P payments.”

The launch begins with the successful integration of a partnership with Emergent Technology Ltd, the owner and operator of the G-Coin digital token, to enable quick and easy cash funding and payout of the purchase and sale of digital gold. The partnership utilizes MoneyGram’s new business line to provide consumers with expanded access to G-Coin tokens at thousands of new point-of-sale locations. G-Coin makes it possible for individuals to own fractions of a Responsible Gold^TM kilobar to save, send, or spend gold like fiat currencies. G-Coin’s digital innovation combined with MoneyGram’s unique global platform will make digital assets more accessible to millions of consumers.

G-Coin Brings Gold into the Digital Age
A G-Coin token is the title of ownership to conflict-free and responsibly sourced gold that is stored in a secure vault. The one-to-one link between G-Coin tokens and physical gold effectively offers a stable instrument for currency hedging. G-Coin runs on a custom built, third generation blockchain that also provides a trusted ecosystem for a faster, Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliant medium of exchange.

“We created the G-Coin token to give physical gold utility and make it more accessible to the mass market, both as an alternative store of value as well as a stable medium of exchange”, said Brent de Jong, Chairman and Founder of G-Coin. “This partnership with MoneyGram, a leader in global money transmission, confirms that digital assets are rapidly integrating into mainstream financial services and gives us the additional cash-in and cash-out infrastructure to reach global markets”.

With a shared goal of financial inclusion, the MoneyGram and G-Coin integration provides customers who previously had few opportunities to own and utilize gold, with a fast and easy way to purchase or sell the digital gold token in cash. The MoneyGram retail footprint and cash-in and cash-out capabilities provide the infrastructure to make G-Coin accessible to millions. The service is planned to be available in select MoneyGram locations across the U.S. beginning in April, with plans to expand to international markets later in 2021.

About MoneyGram International, Inc.
MoneyGram is leading the evolution of digital P2P payments.

Forbearance Period Quickly Ending; Foreclosure-Prevention Services Available for DC MD & VA Residents

March 24, 2021

0

The startling fact is that while there is a backlog of foreclosures building up due to this moratorium, no one will know how big that backlog is until after the government programs expire. Help is available at https://www.uhusa.org/

WASHINGTON, March 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — United Homes of America (UHA) is offering consulting services free of cost to residents in the D.C, Maryland and Virginia Area. With millions at risk of losing their homes, UHA is assisting and educating them through the application process to delinquent mortgage companies from start to finish. Mortgage and financial guidance is available at: https://www.uhusa.org/

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a housing affordability crisis with over 10 million homeowners behind on mortgage payments.

As a part of President Biden’s promise to deliver relief from the on-going crisis, forbearance enrollment periods have been extended until June 30th 2021. A mortgage forbearance agreement is made when a borrower has a difficult time meeting their payments.

PLAY FOR TIME
One in every 14,164 housing units had a foreclosure filing in January 2021, and it is estimated that 1.8 million mortgages will be seriously delinquent when foreclosure moratoriums on government-backed loans begin to lift.

The startling fact is that while there is a backlog of foreclosures building up due to this moratorium, no one will know how big that backlog is until after the government programs expire.

By the end of this summer homeowners who were once shielded by extended periods of forbearances will have to pick payments back up and keep up with their monthly payments. Some borrowers will be required to repay past due mortgage payments within 6-12 months of the forbearance period ending (six months for federally-backed mortgage loans and 12 for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans).

UNITED HOMES OF AMERICA

UHA is a not-for-profit organization, committed to helping 10,000 homeowners avoid foreclosure. Due to the unprecedented circumstances that have caused an abundance of homeowners to seek services during the covid-19 pandemic, UHA’s services that are valued around $1k a consultation, are now being offered 100% free of charge.

“I have three kids that depend on me, I’ve faced foreclosure in the past, and I know the pressure of not knowing where to turn.” Tony Rivas is the founder of UHA.

PREVENTION: Don’t wait until the end of forbearance.

Know your options for foreclosure avoidance and prepare now. Residents in the DMV area with questions about homeownership or forbearances during the pandemic can schedule a consultations with UHA to find personalized solutions.
