Mortgage Insurance Companies of America

From Their Website:

Founded in 1973, the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America is the trade association representing member private mortgage insurance companies. MICA’s members expand homeownership opportunities to purchase homes with low down payment mortgages, which allow the borrower to make a down payment of less than the traditional 20 percent of the house purchase price.

MICA serves as an educator and conduit of information on legislative and regulatory developments, representing the member companies’ position on Capitol Hill. The association acts as a liaison with other housing trade and finance organizations, as well as the federal secondary mortgage market agencies. MICA strives to enhance public understanding of the vital role private MI plays to build and sustain a robust residential housing market.

MICA was shut down in January of 2014; the site is no longer avaialble.
