Making Home Affordable
Report Highlights

Program Performance Report Through September 2013

More Than 1.8 Million Homeowner Assistance Actions Taken through Making Home
Affordable
• More than 1.2 million homeowners have received a permanent modification through the Home
Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). Homeowners have reduced their first lien mortgage
payments by a median of approximately $547 each month – almost 40% of their median beforemodification payment – saving a total estimated $22.9 billion to date in monthly mortgage payments.
• Homeowners currently in HAMP permanent modifications with some form of principal reduction
have been granted an estimated $12.1 billion in principal reduction. Of all non-GSE loans eligible for
principal reduction entering HAMP in September, 72% included a principal reduction feature.
• More than 225,000 homeowners have exited their homes through a short sale or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure with assistance from the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA).
• Nearly 120,000 second lien modifications have been completed through the Second Lien
Modification Program (2MP).

Performance of Permanent HAMP Modifications has Improved Over Time
•

Treasury recently published a blog with additional information and analysis on understanding HAMP
re-default rates.

•

HAMP modifications continue to exhibit lower delinquency and re-default rates than industry
modifications as reported in the latest report by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The
OCC attributes this success to HAMP’s design.

•

Program data supports that the longer a homeowner remains in HAMP, the more likely he or she is
to keep up with their mortgage payments and avoid foreclosure.

•

Payment reduction is a strong driver of permanent modification sustainability. For example, of
modifications seasoned 24 months, only 16.2% with a monthly payment reduction greater than 50%
have been disqualified due to missing three payments. By contrast, those modifications with a
payment reduction of 20% or less had a disqualification rate of 41.7%.

•

Performance of HAMP modifications has improved over time. For modifications seasoned 24
months, 24.3% of modifications started in 2011 have disqualified, compared to 28.6% of
modifications started in 2009.

•

The majority of homeowners who disqualify from a HAMP permanent modification receive an
alternative to foreclosure or resolve their delinquency.

Program Performance Report Through September 2013

Making Home Affordable Program Activity
The Making Home Affordable Program was launched in March 2009 with the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) which provides assistance to struggling homeowners
by lowering monthly first lien mortgage payments to an affordable level. Additional programs were subsequently rolled out to expand the program reach.

In total, the MHA program has completed more than 1.8 million first and second lien permanent modifications, HAFA transactions, and UP forbearance plans.

Program

MHA First Lien
Modifications

The Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)
provides eligible borrowers the opportunity to lower their
first lien mortgage payment to affordable and sustainable
levels through a uniform loan modification process.
Effective June 2012, HAMP's eligibility requirements were
expanded to include a "Tier 2" evaluation for non-GSE
loans that is modeled after the GSE Standard Modification
and includes properties that are currently occupied by a
tenant as well as vacant properties the borrower intends
to rent. FHA-HAMP and RD-HAMP provide first lien
modifications for distressed borrowers in loans
guaranteed through the Federal Housing Administration
and Rural Housing Service.

Second Lien
Modification Program
(2MP)

Provides modifications and extinguishments on second
liens when there has been an eligible first lien
modification on the same property.

Home Affordable
Foreclosure
Alternatives (HAFA)

Provides transition alternatives to foreclosure in the form
of a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Effective
November 2012, the GSEs jointly streamlined their short
sale and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure programs. The GSE
Standard HAFA program is closely aligned with Treasury’s
MHA HAFA program. A short sale requires a third-party
purchaser and cooperation of junior lienholders and
mortgage insurers to complete the transaction.

Unemployment
Program (UP)

Provides temporary forbearance of mortgage principal to
enable unemployed borrowers to look for a new job
without fear of foreclosure.

On January 27, 2012, Treasury announced an expansion of the eligibility for HAMP to reduce
additional foreclosures and help stabilize neighborhoods. The eligibility was expanded for non-GSE
loans to (1) allow for more flexible debt-to-income criteria and (2) include properties that are
currently occupied by a tenant, as well as vacant properties which the borrower intends to rent.
This expanded HAMP criteria, referred to as HAMP “Tier 2,” became effective on June 1, 2012
(although not all servicers began offering Tier 2 modifications on that date).

Servicers may enter new trial modifications into the HAMP system of record at any time. For example, 12,421 trials have entered the
HAMP system of record since the prior report; 10,417 were trials with a first payment recorded in September 2013.

Homeowners who have HAMP-eligible loans may qualify for Tier 1 if they meet additional criteria
including, but not limited to requiring: a debt-to-income ratio greater than 31%, occupancy,
employment, and pooling and servicing agreement eligibility. Based on current estimates, of the
3.2 million homeowners who are currently 60+ days delinquent, an estimated 600,000
homeowners are potentially eligible for HAMP Tier 1.

Program Performance Report Through September 2013

HAMP Principal Reduction Activity

Second Lien Modification Program (2MP) Activity

Servicers of non-GSE loans are required to evaluate the benefit of principal reduction under the
HAMP Principal Reduction Alternative (PRA) for mortgages with a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio greater
than 115% when evaluating a homeowner for a HAMP first lien modification. While servicers are
required to evaluate homeowners for principal reduction, they are not required to reduce principal
as part of the modification. The MHA Program allows servicers to provide principal reduction on
HAMP modifications in two ways:
•Under HAMP PRA, principal is reduced to lower the LTV, the investor is eligible to receive an
incentive on the amount of principal reduced, and the reduction vests over a 3-year period.
•Servicers can also offer principal reduction to homeowners on a HAMP modification outside the
requirements of HAMP PRA. If they do, the investor receives no incentive payment for the
principal reduction and the principal reduction can be recognized immediately.
Of all non-GSE loans eligible3 for principal reduction that started a trial in September 2013, 72%
included a principal reduction feature, including 59% through the HAMP PRA program.

The Second Lien Modification Program (2MP) provides assistance to homeowners in a first lien
permanent modification who have an eligible second lien with a participating HAMP servicer.
This assistance can result in a modification of the second lien and even full or partial
extinguishment of the second lien. Second lien modifications follow a series of steps and may
include capitalization, interest rate reduction, term extension and principal forbearance or
forgiveness.
2MP modifications and partial extinguishments require that the first lien HAMP modification be
permanent and active and that the second lien have an unpaid balance of $5,000 or more and a
monthly payment of at least $100.

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA)
The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA) offers incentives and a streamlined process for homeowners looking to exit their homes through a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
HAFA has established important homeowner protections and an industry standard for streamlined transactions. Effective November 2012, the GSEs revised their short sale and deed-in-lieu programs.
The GSE Standard HAFA program is closely aligned with Treasury’s MHA HAFA program. In HAFA transactions, homeowners:
• Follow a streamlined process for short sales and deed-in-lieu transactions that requires no verification of income (unless required by investors) and allows for pre-approved short sale terms;
• Receive a waiver of deficiency once the transaction is completed that releases the homeowner from remaining mortgage debt;
• Receive at least $3,000 in relocation assistance at closing.

Months After Conversion to Permanent Modification

Compared with other non-HAMP modifications, HAMP modifications continue to exhibit lower delinquency and re-default rates than industry
modifications as reported in the latest report by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The majority of homeowners who disqualify from HAMP receive another foreclosure prevention option. Less than a quarter of homeowners
who have been disqualified from HAMP have been referred to foreclosure. See page 18.
Note: A modification's inclusion in the 3-month re-default rate calculation is conditional on the modification being active at the start of the 3-month period being measured.

• For permanent loans aged at least 3 months as of August 31, 2013, as reported by servicers through September 17, 2013.
• The table stratifies the data by the quarter in which the permanent modification became effective and provides two separate performance metrics:
• 60+ days delinquent: All loans that have missed two or more consecutive monthly payments, including 90+ days delinquent loans.
• 90+ days delinquent: All loans that have missed three or more consecutive monthly payments.
• Loan payment status is not reported by servicers after program disqualification (90+ days delinquent). Therefore, 90+ days delinquent loans are included in each of the 60+ days delinquent and 90+ days
delinquent metrics for all future reporting periods, even though some loans may have cured or paid off following program disqualification.
• This table reflects a total of 313,134 disqualified loans that have aged 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 or 42 months through the August activity period as reported by servicers through September 17, 2013.
• Servicers are required to report monthly payment information on HAMP modifications in the form of an Official Monthly Report (OMR). Servicers did not submit 44,594 OMRs, or 5% of total required OMR’s
for payments due August 1, 2013. If a servicer does not report an OMR for a loan in a given month, the performance of that loan is not included in the table for that month. This table reflects improved
servicer OMR reporting as the modification ages, causing the total loan count for each quarter in months 6 and beyond to be higher than the count in month 3. Reported loan counts may shift from prior
reports due to servicer data corrections. If one were to assume all unreported OMRs reflect either a current payment status or the maximum number of missed payments based on the most recently
submitted OMR, the re-default rate for permanent modifications that have aged 42 months may range between 39.7%-40.5%.
• Once a loan is paid off, it is no longer reflected in future periods.
• This table will be published quarterly. Beyond 6 months, performance is noted in 6-month increments.

Making Home Affordable: Summary Results
Program Performance Report Through September 2013

Performance of Permanent Modifications (As of August 31, 2013)
The most significant factors driving HAMP modification performance are the amount of the reduction in the monthly payment, the length of the borrower’s
delinquency at the start of the modification trial period, and the borrower’s credit score at the time of modification.
Performance by Monthly Payment Reduction

Performance by Delinquency at Trial Start

Payment reduction is strongly correlated with permanent modification
sustainability. For modifications seasoned 24 months, only 16.2% of
modifications with a monthly payment reduction greater than 50% have been
disqualified due to missing three payments, compared to a disqualification rate
of 41.7% where the payment had been cut by 20% or less.

Making Home Affordable: Summary Results
Program Performance Report Through September 2013

Homeowner Benefits and First Lien Modification Characteristics
Aggregate payment savings to homeowners who received HAMP first lien permanent modifications are estimated to total approximately $22.9 billion, program to
date, compared with unmodified mortgage obligations. The median monthly savings for homeowners in active permanent first lien modifications is $547.10, or 39%
of the median monthly payment before modification.

Modification Steps of Active Permanent Modifications
HAMP modifications follow a series of waterfall steps. The modification steps include
interest rate adjustment, term extension and principal forbearance.
• Under Tier 1, servicers apply the modification steps in sequence until the
homeowner’s post modification front-end debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is 31%. The
impact of each modification step can vary to achieve the target of 31%.
• Under Tier 2, servicers apply consistent modification terms resulting in the
homeowner’s post modification DTI falling within an allowable target range.8
Active permanent modifications reflect the following modification steps:

good standing. Of the Tier 2 trial modifications started:
 25% were previously in a Tier 1 trial or permanent modification.
 18% were previously evaluated for Tier 1 and did not meet eligibility
requirements.

• The primary hardship reasons for homeowners in active permanent modifications
are:

• Of the Tier 2 trial modifications started, 7% were for non owner-occupied
properties.

• Of all HAMP trial modifications started, 80% of homeowners were at least 60 days
delinquent at trial start. The rest were up to 59 days delinquent or current and in
imminent default.

• The median gross monthly income of homeowners in the program is $3,850.00.
• The median credit score of homeowners in the program is 575.

Average Homeowner Delinquency at Trial Start
Servicers are instructed to follow a series of steps in order to evaluate homeowners for HAMP, including:
• Identifying and soliciting the homeowners in the early stages of delinquency;
• Making reasonable efforts to establish right party contact with the homeowners;
• Gathering required documentation once contact is established in order to evaluate the homeowners for a HAMP trial; and,
• Communicating decisions to the homeowners.
Effective 10/1/11, a new servicer compensation structure exists to encourage servicers to work with struggling homeowners in the early
stages of delinquency with the highest incentives paid for permanent modifications completed when the homeowner is 120 days
delinquent or less at the trial start.

Servicer Time to Resolve Non-GSE Escalations: Average Resolution Time by Quarter in Which Escalations were Resolved15
Servicers are required to resolve borrower inquiries and disputes that are escalated by the MHA Support Centers. Escalated cases include allegations that the servicer did not properly assess the
homeowner according to program guidelines, inappropriately denied the homeowner for applicable MHA program(s), or initiated or continued inappropriate foreclosure actions. Effective February 1,
2011, the servicers are directed to review and resolve non-GSE escalated cases within 30 calendar days from receipt of the case by the escalating party. Over the last four quarters, all of the largest
servicers’ non-GSE resolved cases have an average resolution time below the 30 -day target.

Making Home Affordable: Servicer Results
Program Performance Report Through September 2013

Disposition Path of Homeowners Not in HAMP
Survey Data For Actions Completed Through August 2013 18 (Largest Servicers)

•

HAMP guidance requires that
servicers evaluate homeowners
with eligible loans for HAMP,
before considering other
foreclosure alternatives.
For those homeowners that do
not qualify for HAMP or do not
successfully complete the trial
period, 58% receive an
alternative modification or
resolve their delinquency.

Status of Homeowners Whose HAMP
Permanent Modification Disqualified

•

•

•

HAMP guidance requires that a servicer
work with a delinquent homeowner in
a permanent modification to cure the
delinquency.
In the event the homeowner cannot
bring a delinquent HAMP modification
current without additional assistance,
the servicer is prevented from
commencing foreclosure proceedings
until the borrower is evaluated for any
other loss mitigation action.
The majority of homeowners who
disqualify from a HAMP permanent
modification receive an alternative to
foreclosure or resolve their
delinquency.
Less than a quarter of homeowners
who have disqualified from HAMP have
been referred to foreclosure.

Making Home Affordable

Program Performance Report Through September 2013

Appendix A1: Terms, Methodology and General Program Notes
HAMP Terms and Methodology:
Average Delinquency at Trial Start:
For all permanent modifications started, the average number of days
delinquent as of the trial plan start date. Delinquency is calculated as
the number of days between the homeowner's last paid installment
before the trial plan and the first payment due date of the trial plan.
Back-End Debt-to-Income Ratio:
Ratio of total monthly debt payments (including mortgage principal and
interest, taxes, insurance, homeowners association and/or condo fees,
plus payments on installment debts, junior liens, alimony, car lease
payments and investment property payments) to monthly gross
income. Homeowners who have a back-end debt-to-income ratio of
greater than 55% are required to seek housing counseling under
program guidelines.
Conversion Rate:
Ratio of permanent modifications to trials eligible to convert, defined as
those three months in trial, or four months if the borrower was at risk
of imminent default at trial modification start. Permanent modifications
transferred among servicers are credited to the originating servicer.
Trial modifications transferred are reflected in the current servicer’s
population.

Evaluation Complete:
HAMP evaluations complete ratio reflects the share of homeowners
who have been evaluated for HAMP as a percent of HAMP eligible
loans, excluding homeowners where RPC or HAMP evaluation is no
longer needed. Evaluated homeowners include those offered a trial
plan, those that are denied or did not accept a trial plan and
homeowners that failed to submit a complete HAMP evaluation
package by program-specified timelines.
Front-End Debt-to-Income Ratio:
Ratio of housing expenses (principal, interest, taxes, insurance and
homeowners association and/or condo fees) to monthly gross income.
Median Monthly Housing Payment:
Principal and interest payment. Before modification payment is
homeowner’s current payment at time of evaluation.
RPC:
Right Party Contact (RPC) is achieved when a servicer has
successfully communicated directly with the homeowner obligated
under the mortgage about resolution of their delinquency in
accordance with program guidelines. The RPC ratio reflects the share of
homeowners with which the servicer has established RPC as a percent
of HAMP eligible loans, excluding homeowners where RPC or HAMP
evaluation is no longer needed.

Disqualification:
A permanent modification disqualifies from HAMP when the borrower
has missed the equivalent of three full monthly payments. Once
disqualified, the borrower is no longer eligible to receive HAMP
incentives. However, the terms of the permanent modification remain
the same, and the servicer will continue to work with the borrower to
cure the delinquency or identify other loss mitigation options.
Eligible Loans:
Homeowners with HAMP eligible loans, which include conventional
loans that were originated on or before Jan. 1, 2009; excludes loans
with current unpaid principal balances greater than current conforming
loan limits-current unpaid principal balance must be no greater than:
$729,750 for a single-unit property, 2 units: $934,200, 3 Units:
$1,129,250, 4 Units: $1,403,400; FHA and VA loans; loans where
investor pooling and servicing agreements preclude modification; and
manufactured housing loans with title/chattel issues that exclude them
from HAMP.

Total Active:
Reflects active HAMP trials and permanent modifications.
Trial Plan Offers Extended:
Includes all HAMP mortgage modification requests approved where trial
plan offers were sent to the borrowers, including multiple offers made
on a loan. All Trial Plan Offers Extended do not become HAMP Trials
Started because some borrowers do not accept the trial or fail to make
the first trial payment.

General MHA Program Notes:
MHA Program Effective Dates:
HAMP First Lien: April 6, 2009
PRA: October 1, 2010
2MP: August 13, 2009
HAFA: April 5, 2010

1MP, PRA, FHA-HAMP, RD-HAMP, 2MP, and HAFA Program Metrics:
Data includes activity reported into the HAMP system of record through
the end of cycle for the current reporting month, though the effective
date may occur in the following month.
MHA First Lien Program Notes:
GSE Standard Modification data is provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac as of September 2013. The GSEs undertake other foreclosure
prevention activities beyond their participation in MHA which is not
reflected in this report. Per the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s
Foreclosure Prevention Report for the Second Quarter of 2013, since 4Q
2008, the GSEs have completed more than 1.4 million permanent
modifications, which includes their activity under MHA. Please visit
www.FHFA.gov for the complete FHFA report.
FHA-HAMP Program Notes:
The FHA undertakes other foreclosure prevention activities beyond
their participation in MHA which is not reflected in this report. As
reported in the October 2013 edition of the Obama Administration’s
Housing Scorecard, FHA has offered more than 2 million loss mitigation
and early delinquency interventions through September 30, 2013 since
April 1, 2009, which includes their activity under MHA.
2MP Program Notes:
Number of modifications started is net of cancellations, which are
primarily due to servicer data corrections.
2MP loans previously reported under top servicers that were
transferred to or acquired by non-participating 2MP servicers are
reflected in “Other Servicers.”
HAFA Program Notes:
Unless otherwise noted, HAFA Transactions Completed includes GSE
activity under the MHA program in addition to the GSE Standard HAFA
program implemented in November 2012. GSE Standard HAFA data
provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as of September 2013. It
does not include other GSE short sale and deed-in-lieu activity outside
the HAFA program. Per the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s
Foreclosure Prevention Report for the Second Quarter of 2013, since 4Q
2008 the GSEs have completed over 500,000 short sales and deed-inlieu of foreclosure actions, which includes their activity under MHA.
Please visit www.FHFA.gov for the complete FHFA report.
UP Program Notes:
Data is as reported by servicers via survey for UP participation through
August 31, 2013.

Making Home Affordable

Program Performance Report Through September 2013

Appendix A2: End Notes
SUMMARY RESULTS:

SERVICER RESULTS:

1.

This does not include trial modifications that have
cancelled or not yet converted to permanent
modifications, or HAFA transactions started but
not yet completed.

10. As reported in the monthly servicer survey of large
SPA servicers through September 30, 2013. Figures
do not reflect the impact of servicing transfers.

2.

Servicers may enter new trial modifications into
the HAMP system of record at any time.

3.

Eligible loans include those receiving evaluation
under HAMP PRA guidelines plus loans that did
not require an evaluation but received principal
reduction on their modification.

4.

Includes some modifications with additional
principal reduction outside of HAMP PRA.

5.

Under HAMP PRA, principal reduction vests over a
3-year period. The amounts noted reflect the
entire amount that may be forgiven.

6.

Principal amount reduced as a percentage of
before-modification UPB, excluding capitalization.

7.

The debt relief represents the obligation relieved
by the short sale or deed-in-lieu transaction and is
calculated as the unpaid principal balance and
allowable transactions costs less the property sales
price. The allowable transaction costs may include
release of any subordinate lien, borrower
relocation assistance, sales commission, and
closing costs for taxes, title, and attorney fees.

8.

Subject to investor restrictions. Effective February
1, 2013, Supplemental Directive 12-09 expanded
the acceptable DTI range for Tier 2 to 10-55%.

9.

For active permanent modifications. Median %
reflects percent of the median monthly payment
before modification.

11. As reported into the HAMP system of record by
servicers. Excludes FHA-HAMP modifications.
Totals reflect impact of servicing transfers.
Servicers may enter new trial modifications into
the HAMP system of record at any time.
12. These figures include trial modifications that have
been converted to permanent modifications, but
not reported as such in the HAMP system of
record. Additionally, servicers may process
cancellations of permanent modifications for
reasons, including but not limited to, data
corrections, loan repurchase agreements, etc. This
process requires reverting the impacted
permanent modifications to trials in the HAMP
system of record with re-boarding of some of
these permanent modifications in subsequent
reporting periods. Prior to being re-boarded as
permanent modifications, these modifications are
reported as Active Trials. These modifications may
be 6 months or more beyond their first trial
payment due date resulting in their classification
as an Aged Trials. As a result, fluctuations are
expected in this population.

only. Servicer GSE program data not available.
15. Non-GSE escalations only; excludes cases escalated
to the MHA Support Centers but not yet escalated
to servicers. Average resolution time calculation
excludes cases referred to servicers prior to
February 1, 2011, 'Investor denial' cases referred
to servicers between February 1, 2011 and
November 1, 2011, cases involving bankruptcy,
and cases that did not require servicer actions.
16. Target of 30 calendar days includes an estimated 5
days of processing by MHA Support Centers.
17. Resolved cases include all escalations resolved on
or after February 1, 2011 through September 30,
2013 and exclude those that did not require
servicer actions.
18. Data is as reported by servicers for actions
completed through August 31, 2013 and reflects
the status of homeowners as of that date; a
homeowner's status may change over time.
Survey data is not subject to the same data quality
checks as data uploaded into the HAMP system of
record. Excludes cancellations and
disqualifications pending data corrections and
loans otherwise removed from servicing
portfolios.

13. While both GSE and non-GSE loans are eligible for
HAMP, at the present time due to GSE policy,
servicers can only offer PRA on non-GSE
modifications under HAMP. Servicer volume can
vary based on the investor composition of the
servicer’s portfolio and respective policy with
regards to PRA.
14. Includes Non-GSE activity under the MHA program
