The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is actively shaping new rules to address the needs of homeowners interested in applying for mortgages, especially those historically underserved. These proposed rules, while still in the formative stages, seek to address a variety of topics, from borrower communications and interactions to fair housing ethics.
The proposed rules focus on several key objectives, including making it easier for prospective borrowers to gain access to HUD programs that can help them obtain a mortgage loan. Changes to policies that dictate how lenders interact with borrowers during the application process could remove barriers that have been preventing some borrowers from successfully acquiring a loan. New housing statues and policies would also be geared towards solidifying the rights of homeowners in regards to fair housing, as well as developing new initiatives that help to ensure that borrowers understand their rights and obligations before signing a mortgage agreement.
