ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ComplianceTech, a leading provider of technology and mortgage data analysis for government agencies, nonprofit organizations and financial institutions, today released a study documenting a significant decrease in home mortgages to African Americans and Latinos in comparison to non-Hispanic whites since the onset of the housing downturn. The analysis of data collected under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) disclosed that African Americans and Latinos borrowed 62 percent less to buy or refinance homes in 2009 than they borrowed in 2004, which was before the housing market collapsed. Mortgages to whites declined only 17 percent, while Asians obtained nearly an equal amount in mortgages.
This study surveys senior homeowners to assess their attitudes and awareness regarding the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) program. The results of this study indicate that program interest declines with age and varies by geographic region. Also, certain program attributes such as the irrelevance of borrower credit history are particularly attractive while others such as payment options and borrower protections appear to be confusing and misinterpreted. Adjusting the HECM program in accordance with these finding should help HUD to meet its goal of promoting housing stability and self-sufficiency for the elderly.
