Summary:

A number of housing-related issues have been prominent in the 110th Congress.Possibly the most visible issue is the prevalence of subprime loans and growingmortgage default and foreclosure rates. On July 30, 2008, the President signed theHousing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-289) into law. In order toassist troubled borrowers, P.L. 110-289 gives the Federal Housing Administration(FHA) the authority to insure an additional $300 billion in mortgage loans; the newauthority will be available to help borrowers at risk of foreclosure refinance intomore manageable loans. This program is called HOPE for Homeowners. The newlaw also appropriates $4 billion to the Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) program to be allocated to states and localities for the purchase,rehabilitation, resale, or rental of foreclosed properties.
