In Detail: Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan
The Treasury released details about the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, including a summary of the proposal to encourage mortgage modification and several illustrations about how the plan is designed to work and answers to potential questions. As outlined, the plan has three stated purposes: (1) to provide low-cost refinancing to homeowners now unable to refinance; (2) to create a $75 billion fund to aid loan modifications for homeowners now underwater on mortgages; and (3) to keep current mortgage rates low by providing additional support for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Not to be outdone, the White House unveiled its Financial Stability website and posted additional information about the plan on the White House blog.
