HAMP: CRC Critique• Poor performance – 200,000 permanent mods• Not mandatory • Pays servicers to do what they should do• Principal reductions not a part, but..• Not much help for unemployed, but…• Little transparency – npv test, denials, but…• No meaningful way to appeal, but…• Race data collected, not public, but…• No enforcement, accountability, (no but)

Bankruptcy Cramdown: Judicial Modification
• Could have helped 600,000 borrowers directly• Would give borrowers leverage• Passed the House, Killed in Senate• Senator Durbin –
–the bankers “frankly own the place (Congress)”
• Where was the President? (in his platform)
![Page 16: Foreclosure Relief Under the Obama Administration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56816863550346895ddeb4bd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CFPA
• Agency to protect consumers• No regulatory race to the bottom – Ex. OTS• Strong proposal by President• Strong opposition from industry• Key issues– Rule making and enforcement authority– Where does it reside?– Exemptions
![Page 17: Foreclosure Relief Under the Obama Administration](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052702/56816863550346895ddeb4bd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Community Reinvestment Act Modernization
• CRA is the one law that works!• Paying More for the American Dream III study– CRA lenders more likely to make prime loans
• But CRA needs to be strengthened– Include race, not just income– Include all areas where loans are made. Ex: CW– Report data on which banks are helping– Cover mortgage, insurance, Wall Street firms– Don’t dilute public input!
