Shelter from the Storm: How a COVID Mortgage Meltdown was Averted Session Overview: The COVID-19 pandemic upended our daily lives and transformed the political landscape. The crisis was not only an unprecedented shock to our healthcare system but also an unprecedented threat to our economic well-being, including the mortgage and housing markets. A critical aspect of that response was the efforts to keep families in their homes. FULL SESSION DESCRIPTION
Despite the reforms following the 2008 financial crisis, our financial markets were not prepared. March 2020 brought another financial crisis. But some were determined not to repeat the many mistakes of 2008. As director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which oversees Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, Mark Calabria was responsible for leading that response. In Shelter from the Storm, he tells the story of how millions of families were provided mortgage and rental assistance both to keep them safe and to keep our financial markets functioning. He offers readers a peek behind the curtain of government decision making in a crisis and shows how the FHFA minimized housing disruptions at little to no cost to the taxpayer. Learn why certain mortgage mitigation standards were adopted during COVID, and which changes are likely to remain. Calabria also entertains with insider stories and insights from both FHFA and his time at the White House. SPEAKERS
