Statement from U.S. Mortgage Insurers (USMI)
“USMI applauds Senate Banking Committee Chairman Johnson and Ranking Member Crapo for reaching a bipartisan agreement on housing finance reform legislation, drawing largely from the bipartisan Corker/Warner bill. We are pleased that the bill recognizes the important role of private mortgage insurance in ensuring access to housing finance for borrowers while protecting taxpayers and serving lenders of all sizes. We look forward to working constructively with Congress and other policymakers to build a well-functioning housing finance system backed by private capital.”
