Genworth implemented the HARP program days after it was announced on March 4th, and early indications are refinancing through the program puts the borrower in an improved financial position. After a HARP refinance, borrowers' interest rates, on average, go down 1.5 points, and borrowers' monthly mortgage payments go down an average of 13.5%.
While working closely with its large lender customers to help implement HARP loan programs, Genworth also has supported the "New Servicer" program introduced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since its inception. The program allows borrowers with mortgage insurance to switch from one servicer to another in support of HARP refinances.
In addition to its support for HARP, Genworth and the members of the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America (MICA) have worked closely with the U.S. Treasury, The Housing Policy Council, HopeNow, Servicers, Investors and consumer groups to help facilitate the Administration's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). Among the initiatives put in place to help more borrowers avoid foreclosure are:
-- Delegation of modification approval authority for Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac loans, as well as for non-GSE loans that pass the U.S.
Treasury's Net Present Value test.
-- Development of reporting requirements that align with those of the HAMP
Administrator for all loans with MI.
-- Direct homeowner outreach by Genworth representatives to maximize the
number of borrowers alerted to the potential HAMP opportunity.
-- Training by Genworth on HAMP and other workout options to help ensure
that lenders and servicers fully understand the program and other
available workout options.
