Making Home Affordable
Report Highlights

Program Performance Report Through January 2014

More Than 1.9 Million Homeowner Assistance Actions Taken through Making
Home Affordable
• More than 1.3 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 $544 each month – almost
40% of their median before-modification payment – saving a total estimated $25.5
billion to date in monthly mortgage payments.
• More than 126,000 second lien modifications have been started through the Second
Lien Modification Program (2MP).
• More than 266,000 homeowners have exited their homes through a short sale or deedin-lieu of foreclosure with assistance from the Home Affordable Foreclosure
Alternatives Program (HAFA).

This Month’s Feature: The HAMP Principal Reduction Alternative
• Homeowners currently in HAMP permanent modifications with some form of principal
reduction have been granted an estimated $13.3 billion in principal reduction. Of all
non-Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) loans eligible for principal reduction
entering HAMP in January, 64% included a principal reduction feature.

The Q4 2013 Quarterly Servicer Assessment
• For the fourth quarter of 2013, one servicer was found to need minor improvement
and the remainder were found to need moderate improvement. All servicers will need
to continue to demonstrate progress in areas identified during program reviews. On
average, servicer performance has improved since the inception of the Servicer
Assessment reports.

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’s reach.

In total, the MHA program has completed more than 1.9 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.

* When Treasury first launched HAMP in the spring of 2009, servicers were not required to verify a borrower’s
income prior to commencing a trial modification. This was the policy because of the severity of the crisis, the
number of homeowners already in default, and the fact that servicers had not yet built the systems to fully
implement the program. However, this resulted in many trials being cancelled once income was verified.
Treasury required all servicers to verify a borrower’s income as of June 10, 2010, which substantially lowered trial
cancelations. Prior to that date, 703,212 trials were cancelled, for a cumulative of 782,232.
** Does not include 24,873 loans paid off.

Estimated Eligible Loans and Borrowers
Under the original HAMP program, launched in March 2009, now referred to as “Tier 1,” eligible
loans include conventional loans more than 60 days delinquent (unless the borrower is in
imminent default), that originated on or before January 1, 2009 with a current unpaid principal
balance below the maximum conforming loan limit and were owner-occupied at origination.
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
million homeowners who are currently 60+ days delinquent, an estimated 500,000 homeowners
are potentially eligible for HAMP Tier 1.
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).

Making Home Affordable: Summary Results
Program Performance Report Through January 2014

HAMP Principal Reduction 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 eligible for principal reduction that started a trial in January 2014, 64% included a principal reduction feature, including 56% through the HAMP PRA program.

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Activity
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 as required by investors) and allows for preapproved short sale terms;
• Receive a waiver of deficiency once the transaction is completed that releases them from remaining mortgage debt;
• Receive at least $3,000 in relocation assistance at closing.

Second Lien Modification Program (2MP) Activity
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. Effective September 2013, Treasury expanded 2MP program
eligibility to include second liens with a qualifying first lien modified under the GSEs’ Standard Modification program.
2MP modifications and partial extinguishments require that the qualifying first lien 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.

HAMP Principal Reduction
To encourage servicers and investors to consider or expand the use of HAMP PRA, Treasury issued program guidance on February 16, 2012 tripling financial incentives under HAMP
PRA for investors who agree to reduce principal for eligible underwater homeowners. The program guidance applies to all permanent modifications of non-GSE loans under HAMP
that include HAMP PRA and have a trial period plan effective date on or after March 1, 2012. HAMP PRA can be a feature of a HAMP trial or permanent modification.
Of non-GSE loans eligible for principal reduction that started a trial in January, 56% were offered principal reduction through the HAMP PRA program. The remaining HAMP trial
modifications with a principal reduction feature were granted outside the requirements of HAMP PRA, where the investor does not receive a financial incentive for the principal
reduction.

*All

Principal Reduction population consists of trials that have any principal
reduction, including those with HAMP PRA.

While the population of loan modifications with principal
reduction is still relatively small, program data indicates
that modifications with principal reduction include more
homeowners seriously delinquent at the time of trial start
than the overall population of HAMP homeowners. Overall,
homeowners receiving permanent loan modifications with
principal reduction also have a higher before-modification
LTV ratio than those without it.
*Because the first step of the standard HAMP waterfall includes the
capitalization of accrued interest, out-of-pocket escrow advances to third
parties, any escrow advances made to third parties during the trial period
plan, and servicing advances that are made for costs and expenses incurred in
performing servicing obligations, this can result in an increase in the principal
balance after modification. As a result, the loan-to-value ratio can increase in
the modification process.

HAMP Homeowner Benefits and First Lien Modification Characteristics
Aggregate payment savings to homeowners who received HAMP first lien permanent modifications are estimated to total approximately $25.5 billion, program to
date, compared with unmodified mortgage obligations. The median monthly savings for homeowners in active permanent first lien modifications is $544.05, 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.6

Servicers are instructed to follow a series of steps in order to evaluate homeowners for HAMP, including:
• Identifying and soliciting 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 homeowner for a HAMP trial; and,
• Communicating decisions to the homeowner.
Effective October 1, 2011, a new servicer compensation structure exists to encourage servicers to work with struggling homeowners in

MHA Servicer Assessment
Overview

Background
Since the Making Home Affordable Program’s (MHA) inception in the spring of
2009, Treasury has monitored the performance of participating mortgage
servicers. Treasury has been publicly reporting information about servicer
performance through two types of data: compliance data, which reflects servicer
compliance with specific MHA guidelines; and program results data, which
reflects how timely and effectively servicers assist eligible homeowners and
report program activity.
When MHA began, most servicers did not have the staff, procedures, or systems
in place to respond to the volume of homeowners struggling to pay their
mortgages, or to respond to the housing crisis generally. Very few mortgage
modifications were even occurring. Treasury sought to get servicers to join MHA
and to improve their operations quickly, so as to implement a national mortgage
modification program.
Through ongoing compliance reviews, Treasury requires participating servicers to
take specific actions to improve their servicing processes, as needed. In June of
2011, Treasury began publishing quarterly servicer assessments for the largest
servicers participating in MHA to drive servicers to improve their performance.
The assessments not only provide greater transparency to the public about
servicer performance in the program, but also prompt servicers to correct
identified instances of non-compliance.
Starting with the third quarter of 2013, the servicer assessments have been
enhanced to, among other things, present new compliance metrics and related
benchmarks. These changes will provide additional insight into the impact of
servicer performance on the borrower’s experience, allow for trending analysis of
all compliance metrics and foster further improvement in servicer performance
by tightening performance benchmarks.
The changes include:
• expanding the coverage of certain existing metrics to include other MHA
components, such as HAMP Tier 2, and the Second Lien Modification Program;
• tightening the performance benchmark thresholds for existing metrics; and
• removing three existing metrics while adding three new metrics.
Servicer participation in MHA is voluntary, based on a contract with Fannie Mae
as financial agent on behalf of Treasury. Although Treasury does not regulate
these institutions and does not have the authority to impose fines or penalties,
Treasury can, pursuant to the contract, take certain remedial actions against

servicers not in compliance with MHA guidelines. Such remedial actions include
requiring servicers to correct identified instances of noncompliance, as noted
above. In addition, Treasury can implement financial remedies such as
withholding incentive payments owed to servicers. Such incentive payments,
which are the only payments Treasury makes for the benefit of servicers under
the program, include payments for every successful permanent modification
under HAMP, and payments for completed short sale/deed-in-lieu transactions
pursuant to HAFA.
It is important to note that Treasury’s compliance work related to MHA applies
only to those servicers that have agreed to participate in MHA for mortgage loans
that are not owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (the GSEs).
Treasury cannot and does not perform compliance reviews of (1) mortgage loans
or activities that fall outside of MHA, (2) GSE loans or (3) those loans insured
through the Federal Housing Administration. For each servicer, the loans that
are eligible for MHA represent only a portion of that servicer’s overall mortgage
servicing operation.
Treasury’s foremost goal is to assist struggling homeowners who may be eligible
for MHA. These servicer assessments have set a benchmark for providing
detailed information about how mortgage servicers are performing against
specific metrics. But, in addition to this direct effect, MHA has had an important
indirect effect on the market as well. MHA has established standards that have
improved mortgage modifications across the industry, and has led to important
changes in the way mortgage servicers assist struggling homeowners generally.
These changes include standards for how mortgage modifications should be
designed so that they are sustainable, standards for communications with
homeowners so that the process is as efficient and as understandable as possible,
and a variety of standards for protecting homeowners, such as prohibitions on
“dual tracking” – simultaneously evaluating a homeowner for a modification
while proceeding to foreclose. Treasury believes these assessments will continue
to set the standard for transparency about mortgage servicer efforts to assist
homeowners.
Below are general descriptions of the data, the evaluation process, and the
consequences for servicers needing improvement.
(Continued on next page)

MHA Servicer Assessment
Overview

The Performance Data: Compliance and Program Results
Freddie Mac, acting as Treasury’s compliance agent for MHA, has created a
separate division known as Making Home Affordable–Compliance (MHA-C) to
evaluate servicer performance through reviews of program compliance. MHA-C
tests and evaluates a range of servicer activities for compliance with MHA
guidelines. Once MHA-C’s reviews are complete, MHA-C shares its results with the
servicers and identifies areas that need remediation. The compliance activities
tested fall into one of three overall compliance categories – Identifying and
Contacting Homeowners, Homeowner Evaluation and Assistance, and Program
Management and Reporting. The compliance results shared with the servicers are
then used to generate the servicer assessments.
The assessments highlight particular compliance activities tested by MHA-C and
include for those highlighted activities a one star, two star, or three star rating for
the most recent evaluations. One star means the servicer did not meet Treasury’s
benchmark required for that particular activity, and the servicer needs substantial
improvement in its performance of that activity. Two stars mean the servicer did
not meet Treasury’s benchmark required for that particular activity, and the
servicer needs moderate improvement in its performance of that activity. Three
stars mean the servicer met Treasury’s benchmark required for that particular
activity, but the servicer may nonetheless need minor improvement in its
performance of that activity.
Although the compliance reviews emphasize objective measurements and
observed facts, compliance reviews still involve a certain level of judgment.
Compliance reviews are also retrospective in nature – looking backward, not
forward, which means that activities identified as needing improvement in a given
quarter may already be under remediation by the servicer. In addition, the
compliance reviews use “sampling” as a testing methodology. Sampling, an
industry-accepted auditing technique, looks at a subset of a particular population
of activity transactions, rather than the entirety of the population of activity
transactions, to assess a servicer’s overall performance in that particular activity.
In addition to the ratings for compliance data, the assessments also include
program results metrics. Fannie Mae, acting as Treasury’s program administrator
for MHA, collects servicer data used to measure program results. These metrics
are key indicators of how timely and effectively servicers assist eligible
homeowners under MHA guidelines and report program data. Although the

servicers are not given an overall rating for this data, the results metrics
nonetheless compare a servicer’s performance for a given quarter against the
other largest servicers participating in the program.
The Determination Process: Results of the Data
Treasury reviews the compliance data and ratings, the program results metrics,
and other relevant factors affecting servicer performance (including, but not
limited to, a servicer’s progress in implementing previously identified
improvements) in determining whether a servicer needs substantial improvement,
moderate improvement, or minor improvement to its overall performance under
MHA guidelines. The assessments summarize the significant factors impacting
those decisions. Based on those assessments, Treasury may take remedial action
against servicers. Page 18 summarizes the overall level of improvement needed
for each servicer.
Consequences for Servicers
For servicers in need of substantial improvement, Treasury will, absent
extenuating circumstances, withhold financial incentives owed to those servicers
until they make certain identified improvements. In certain cases, particularly
where there is a failure to correct identified problems within a reasonable time,
Treasury may also permanently reduce the financial incentives. Servicers in need
of moderate improvement may be subject to withholding in the future if they fail
to make certain identified improvements. All withholdings apply only to incentives
owed to servicers for their participation in MHA; these withholdings do not apply
to incentives paid to servicers for the benefit of homeowners or investors.
Additional Information
See the “Metrics Description” on page 29 for a description of each of the
compliance metrics presented in the assessments.

Starting with the third quarter of
2013, the Servicer Assessment has
been enhanced to present new
compliance metrics and related
benchmarks, including a
methodology change to the
metrics on this page. The
coverage of these metrics now
includes additional MHA
components and programs, such
as HAMP Tier 2, and the Second
Lien Modification Program. Thus,
the results of these metrics
starting in Q3 2013 are not
entirely comparable to previous
quarters.

This quarterly metric measures trials lasting
six months or longer as a share of all active
trials. These figures include trial
modifications that have been cancelled or
converted to permanent modifications by the
servicer and are pending reporting to the
program 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 and resubmitting
them in subsequent reporting periods.

Average Calendar Days to Resolve Escalated Cases
This quarterly metric measures servicer
response time for homeowner inquiries
escalated to MHA Support Centers. Effective
February 1, 2011, a target of 30 calendar
days was established for non-GSE escalation
cases, including an estimated 5 days
processing by the MHA Support Centers. The
methodology for calculating average days to
respond to escalated cases includes non-GSE
cases escalated on or after February 1, 2011.
Investor denial cases escalated prior to
November 1, 2011, cases involving
bankruptcy and those that did not require
servicer actions are not included in the
calculation of servicer time to resolve
escalations.

Incentive Payment Data Errors:
Treasury provides incentives for servicers, investors,

servicers to distribute to the appropriate parties. Data
that servicers report to the program system of record
is used to calculate the incentives due to servicers,
investors, and homeowners. This metric measures how

reported information affect incentive payments.

Program Performance Report Through January 2014

Appendix A1: Terms and Methodology
HAMP Terms and Methodology:

reflected in the current servicer’s population.

Front-End Debt-to-Income Ratio:

Action Pending:

Disqualification:

Includes homeowners who were not approved for a
HAMP trial modification, trial loans that have been
cancelled or permanent modifications that have been
disqualified, but further action has yet to be taken at
this time.

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.

Ratio of housing expenses (principal, interest, taxes,
insurance and homeowners association and/or condo
fees) to monthly gross income.

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

Eligible Loans:
Homeowners with HAMP eligible loans, which include
conventional loans that were originated on or before
January 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.
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.

Median Monthly Housing Payment:
Principal and interest payment. Before modification
payment is homeowner’s current payment at time of
evaluation.
Payment Plan:
An arrangement with the borrower and servicer that
does not involve a formal loan modification.
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.
Total Active:
Reflects active HAMP trials and permanent
modifications.

Program Performance Report Through January 2014

Appendix A2: General Program Notes
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

•

MHA First Lien Permanent Modifications Started
includes: HAMP Tier 1, HAMP Tier 2, GSE Standard
Modifications and both Treasury FHA- and RDHAMP. HAMP Tier 1 includes both GSE and Non-GSE
modifications. The GSEs do no participate in HAMP
Tier 2, however the GSE Standard Modification is
similar to HAMP Tier 2. FHA-HAMP and RD-HAMP
are similar to HAMP Tier 1.
GSE Standard Modification data is provided by
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as of January 2014.
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 Third Quarter of 2013, since 4Q 2008, the GSEs
have completed nearly 1.5 million permanent
modifications, which includes their activity under

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 January 2014. 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 Third Quarter of 2013, since 4Q 2008 the GSEs
have completed over 530,000 short sales and deedin-lieu of foreclosure actions, which includes their
activity under MHA. Please visit www.FHFA.gov for
the complete FHFA report.

Treasury FHA-HAMP Program Notes:
•

1MP, PRA, Treasury 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:
•

MHA. Please visit www.FHFA.gov for the complete
FHFA report.

The FHA undertakes other foreclosure prevention
activities beyond their participation in MHA which is
not reflected in this report. As reported in the
February 2014 edition of the Obama
Administration’s Housing Scorecard, FHA has
offered approximately 2.2 million loss mitigation
and early delinquency interventions through
January 31, 2014 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 nonparticipating 2MP servicers are reflected in “Other
Servicers.”

•

Borrowers with an active 1MP permanent
modification who have also received a 2MP
modification realize a higher monthly payment
reduction on their first lien compared to the overall
population of 1MP borrowers as the median first
lien unpaid principal balance is higher.

HAFA Program Notes:
•

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.

PRA Program Notes:
•

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.

UP Program Notes:
•

Data is as reported by servicers via survey for UP
participation through December 31, 2013.

Unless otherwise noted, HAFA Transactions
Completed includes GSE activity under the MHA

Making Home Affordable

Program Performance Report Through January 2014

Appendix A3: End Notes
SUMMARY AND PROGRAM 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.

2.

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

3.

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

4.

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

5.

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

6.

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

7.

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

SERVICER RESULTS:
8.

As reported into the HAMP system of record by
servicers. Excludes Treasury FHA-HAMP
modifications. Totals reflect impact of servicing
transfers. Servicers may enter new trial
modifications into the HAMP system of record at
any time.

9.

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.
10. Includes Non-GSE activity under the MHA program
only. Servicer GSE program data not available.
11. These figures may 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.
12. Data is as reported by servicers for actions
completed through December 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.
