Policy Update
 On May 8, 2012 the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) held an Affordable Homeownership Roundtable in Washington, DC. The meeting focused on FHA rule changes that are needed to provide buyers of permanently affordable homes with access to FHA-insured mortgages. Acting FHA Commissioner Carol Galante kicked off the meeting, confirming that FHA staff has a waiver in progress for some existing rules. FHA is also working on a permanent rules change, which will take 18-24 months to implement (including the public comment period). The Network would like to thank the CLT representatives who participated in the meeting. On June 22, 2012 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, NeighborWorks America, and the Ford Foundation are hosting an invited meeting in Washington, D.C. The meeting will address how to bring shared equity homeownership to scale including challenges with borrower financing as well as capitalization and secondary market options. Network staff, leaders, and members will present and represent CLT needs and interests at this meeting. Stay tuned for future calls to action or progress reports. |
