OpenCongress Summary

Introduced for the second time by Rep. Maxine Walters [D, CA-35], the chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity, this bill attempts to reduce the number of foreclosures by establishing a systematic approach to modifying trouble mortgages. It would require mortgage servicers to review all loans and, in return, provide $1000 for each subsequently needed modification and require that the government share up to 50% of any loss of a modified loan that consequentially redefaulted. See S.73 for the Senate equivalent of the bill.
