Washington, DC – Today, in reaction to the Trump Administration’s action to raise Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage premiums, NCRC President and CEO John Taylor made the following statement:
“This move makes mortgages more expensive for working class people. It will further dampen the housing market, where already there are many responsible creditworthy borrowers who are needlessly locked out from homeownership opportunity. Raising Federal Housing Administration (FHA) premiums throws up more barriers to economic mobility, and blocks working families from attaining the American dream.”
