The Seeds of the Crisis Mortgage definitions Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac From originate-to-hold to originate-to-distribute Rise of private label securitization 22

The Seeds of the Crisis: Regulatory Failure 22

Foreclosure Crisis Responses Mortgage servicers Incentives (second liens, fee structure, payout sequence) Robosigning MERS Dual tracking Document handling Voluntary loan modifications v. bankruptcy proposal HAMP, HARP and Hardest Hit Funds Principal reduction debate National Mortgage Settlement 22

What Went Wrong Lax underwriting Misaligned incentives up and down chain Regulatory failure Taxpayer exposure 22

From Lesson to Proposal Lesson 1: Government support is critical to a well-functioning secondary market. Long cycle and high variability of mortgage risk requires capital and risk regulation to ensure stable and accessible housing finance and protect taxpayer. Proposal:  Preserves broad access to long-term, stable mortgage finance, such as the 30 year fixed rate mortgage for homeowners and 10+ year financing for rental properties.  Continues to provide countercyclical liquidity.  Maintains investor confidence.  Favors broad network of originators by requiring access on comparable terms; Fosters efficient, commoditized market through a uniform and explicit federal guarantee of securities; Implements standards and transparency to benefit of borrowers AND investors. 22

Lesson 2: Private sector must put sufficient long-term capital at risk. Proposal:  Limits government backing to support public policy goals: to those borrowers, loans, and housing types where needed.  Requires adequate private capital through CMI channel. Allows multiple CMI’s while setting consistent and robust capital rules for all.  Further Protects taxpayer through FDIC-like fund, actuarially priced and capitalized by industry. Lesson 3: Implicit, opaque guarantees coupled with poor risk management exposed the taxpayer to excessive risk. Proposal:  Makes government role explicit and limited.  Establishes grounds for stronger risk and capital oversight. From Lesson to Proposal 23

Lesson 4: Gaps in oversight lead to race to the bottom Proposal:  Imposes level regulatory standards for all mortgage capital providers to ensure systemic safety and soundness and protect taxpayers. Lesson 5: Quality rental housing should be an integral part of a sound national housing policy Proposal:  Establishes more robust mechanisms for funding rental housing.  Funds National Housing Trust Fund, Capital Magnet Fund and risk sharing partnerships to foster responsible innovation. From Lesson to Proposal 24

Lesson 6: We know how to do safe and affordable homeownership right. Proposal:  Federal guarantee restricted to sustainable mortgages.  Regulation across all channels to avoid “race to the bottom.”  Creates constructive framework for R&D through Innovation Fund.  Applies affirmative requirement to provide access to safe products and sets appropriate public purpose provisions. From Lesson to Proposal 25

Goals of the Housing Finance System  Liquidity: Provide broad and deep liquidity across market segments, housing types, geography, time periods, and types of originators.  Stability: Rein in excessive risk-taking, avoid housing bubbles, and limit market swings.  Affordability: Provide access to credit on fair and sustainable terms, including long-term, fixed-rate mortgages; provide financing for affordable rental housing; support recovery of distressed neighborhoods and sustainable community development.  Transparency: Require clear and consistent underwriting, documentation, and analytical standards so consumers, investors, and regulators can accurately assess and price risk and regulators can hold institutions accountable.  Consumer Protection: Prohibit discriminatory and predatory practices and insulate the taxpayer from unnecessary bailouts.
