The Mortgage Servicing Collaborative is an initiative of the Urban Institute’s Housing Finance Policy Center that seeks to improve access to credit by identifying and generating support for reforms that can address lender reluctance to originate and service mortgages.
The Collaborative will convene key industry stakeholders— including lenders, servicers, consumer groups, civil rights leaders, researchers, and policymakers—to develop an evidence-based understanding of key factors and to develop and analyze possible solutions and implications. The Mortgage Servicing Collaborative seeks to:
-
identify the obstacles to more robust lending under the existing regulatory framework and how those obstacles affect consumer access;
-
foster debate and analysis on how we can remove or minimize the obstacles identified to better serve consumers and enable a more efficient market; and
-
produce and disseminate research findings and policy recommendations, including those by Collaborative members, or a collection of policy options that can clarify and advance the debate.
For more information about the collaborative, contact Alanna McCargo.
