LENDER OVERLAYS

We cannot have a healthy housing market without appropriate access

Why overlays? We hear that uncertainty in the

regulatory environment is a big factor

12

TAKING ACTION

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)―Ability to Re-pay Rule

Qualified Residential Mortgage (QRM) is next on the regulatory agenda

Engaging in rulemaking on FHA’s version of QM

13

LENDER ENFORCEMENT, REPS & WARRANTS

Recent enforcement actions GSEs’ rep and warrant risk Lenders’ concerns- loan default

exposure to the risk of indemnification or a put back, no matter how trivial or immaterial the underwriting flaws or error

14

WORKING WITH LENDERS

Need to develop clear and transparent standards on indemnification

Made changes to our own underwriting criteria―Confidence that borrowers can be

successful Consider requiring housing

counseling for certain borrowers

15

16

A STRONGER FHA

FHA played a crucial role in the single family, multifamily and even healthcare mortgage finance market since 2009

Without FHA programs, Moody’s Analytics predicts that house prices would have fallen an additional 25 percent

17

AGGRESSIVE STEPS IN 2011 - 2012

Secretary Donovan and FHA leadership quickly realized there were some significant changes we needed to make―Created an Office of Risk

Management, the first in FHA’s history―Established a higher down payment

for borrowers with credit scores under 580

―Enhanced lender approval guidelines ―Got rid of bad actors

18

FHA SINGLE FAMILY

The books of business originated since 2010 are the strongest in Agency history

Like other players in the mortgage industry, FHA faced significant challenges over the past several years

NO financial institution or mortgage insurer has weathered this crisis without pain

19

FHA’S MUTUAL MORTGAGE INSURANCE FUND

2012 independent actuary report predicts the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund is $16.3B short of having sufficient funds to pay all projected claims over the next 30 years

FY 2013-14 budget proposes shortfall funding in the event it becomes necessary

20

Projected losses stem largely from loans originated from 2007-2009 as well as reverse mortgage loans

$14B of these expected losses are the result of loans originated using a Seller Funded Downpayment Assistance program ― FHA got Congress to ban

SOURCES OF LOSSES

21

FHA’S PRICING AND CREDIT POLICY STEPS Announced a total of 5 increases, the

highest insurance premium in history Reversed a policy where insurance

premiums were automatically cancelled

Required any borrower with a credit score under 620 to have a maximum DTI of 43%

Mandating higher down payments and higher premiums for jumbo loans

22

FURTHER ACTIONS TAKEN

Revising the loss mitigation waterfall

Launched the Distressed Asset Stabilization Program

Ramping up a claims without conveyance process to allow direct sales of foreclosed properties to third parties

23

Borrowers age 62 or older and with little to no income use their equity to pay bills and expenses while aging in place

HECM is sensitive to both home prices and borrowers age and longevity

HECM loans disproportionately responsible for large amount of expected losses

HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE

24

HOUSING FINANCE REFORM

Proceed with the important work of solidifying the long term health of the FHA

GSE reforms need a similar approach―GSEs are now earning profits and

paying back Treasury

25

GSE REFORMS

Similar approach to GSE reforms- best practices, industry-wide standards that support our broad range of goals―Preserve the 30-year mortgage―Maintain access to credit for all

households―Keep the market stable

Recognition that GSEs are now earning profits and paying back Treasury but reform remains an important issue

Assistance/Operating Subsidies
