CHLA issued the linked press statement strongly commending FHFA Director Calabria for delaying until December 1st the effective date for the new 50 basis points GSE adverse market fee

CHLA, along with consumer groups and other trade groups, sent a letter to HUD Secretary Ben Carson, asked FHA to eliminate its recently adopted 20% 1st loss indemnification penalty on properly underwritten loans that go into forbearance prior to being insured by FHA.

CHLA today sent a letter to top federal mortgage officials, asking them to be flexible in allowing refinancing loans to borrowers that regain their jobs after going into forbearance – without imposing higher fees – as an alternative to a partial claim to deal with the missed payments. The model is the post-2008 GSE HARP program, except the exemption would be for recently missed payments
