Employees or contractors of Bank of America, GMAC Mortgage, and other major loan servicers testified that they signed, and in some cases backdated, thousands of documents claiming personal knowledge of facts about mortgages that they did not actually know to be true. Allegations of ‘‘robo-signing’’ are deeply disturbing and have given rise to ongoing federal and state investigations. At this point the ultimate implications remain unclear. It is possible, however, that ‘‘robo-signing’’ may have concealed much deeper problems in the mortgage market that could potentially threaten financial sta- bility and undermine the government’s efforts to mitigate the fore- closure crisis. Although it is not yet possible to determine whether such threats will materialize, the Panel urges Treasury and bank regulators to take immediate steps to understand and prepare for the potential risks. In the best-case scenario, concerns about mortgage documenta- tion irregularities may prove overblown. In this view, which has been embraced by the financial industry, a handful of employees failed to follow procedures in signing foreclosure-related affidavits, but the facts underlying the affidavits are demonstrably accurate. Foreclosures could proceed as soon as the invalid affidavits are re- placed with properly executed paperwork. The worst-case scenario is considerably grimmer. In this view, which has been articulated by academics and homeowner advo- cates, the ‘‘robo-signing’’ of affidavits served to cover up the fact * The Panel adopted this report with a 5–0 vote on November 15, 2010. VerDate Mar 15 2010 02:17 Dec 02, 2010 Jkt 061835 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\A835.XXX A835 tjames on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with REPORTS 2 that loan servicers cannot demonstrate the facts required to con- duct a lawful foreclosure. In essence, banks may be unable to prove that they own the mortgage loans they claim to own. The risk stems from the possibility that the rapid growth of mortgage securitization outpaced the ability of the legal and finan- cial system to track mortgage loan ownership. In earlier years, under the traditional mortgage model, a homeowner borrowed money from a single bank and then paid back the same bank. In the rare instances when a bank transferred its rights, the sale was recorded by hand in the borrower’s county property office. Thus, the ownership of any individual mortgage could be easily dem- onstrated. Nowadays, a single mortgage loan may be sold dozens of times between various banks across the country. In the view of some market participants, the sheer speed of the modern mortgage mar- ket has rendered obsolete the traditional ink-and-paper recordation process, so the financial industry developed an electronic transfer process that bypasses county property offices. This electronic proc- ess has, however, faced legal challenges that could, in an extreme scenario, call into question the validity of 33 million mortgage loans. Further, the financial industry now commonly bundles the rights to thousands of individual loans into a mortgage-backed security (MBS). The securitization process is complicated and requires sev- eral properly executed transfers. If at any point the required legal steps are not followed to the letter, then the ownership of the mort- gage loan could fall into question. Homeowner advocates have al- leged that frequent ‘‘robo-signing’’ of ownership affidavits may have concealed extensive industry failures to document mortgage loan transfers properly. If documentation problems prove to be pervasive and, more im- portantly, throw into doubt the ownership of not only foreclosed properties but also pooled mortgages, the consequences could be se- vere. Clear and uncontested property rights are the foundation of the housing market. If these rights fall into question, that founda- tion could collapse. Borrowers may be unable to determine whether they are sending

  • 2020 Affordable Housing Advisory Council Report
    2020 Advisory Council Report FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF DES MOINES 2020 AHAC Analysis of the Bank’s Affordable Housing Activities When I began my role as chair of the Affordable Housing Advisory Council (AHAC or the Advisory Council), my vision about what the year would entail was different than how the year unfolded. After our first quarterly meeting, travel restrictions were implemented in response to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19, which resulted in the remainder of the year’s meetings to be held virtually. I worked closely with Amanda Novak, the 2020 AHAC vice chair, as well as Federal Home Loan Bank Des Moines (FHLB Des Moines or Bank) staff to adapt to a virtual meeting format. We also set the course for the AHAC’s analysis of the Bank’s affordable housing and community lending activities, which I am proud to summarize in this report. Important to the context of our analysis was the national awakening to racial equity and social justice as well as the effect of COVID-19 in communities across the Bank’s district. Both directly impacted the affordable housing industry and the people it serves, and the Advisory Council explored ways in which the Bank’s affordable housing products and activities could provide support. To inform our discussions, the Bank’s leadership met regularly with the Advisory Council. Kris Williams, president and CEO, engaged in open dialogue about the Bank’s strategic priorities, including its Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) program. Wil Osborn, chief business officer, informed the AHAC about the Bank’s business and the economic landscape impacting its members.
