Bank Offers New Targeted Credit Program:
Homeownership Preservation Advance (HPA)

 
Dear Chief Executive Officer:
 
I am pleased to announce the introduction of the Homeownership Preservation Advance (HPA), a new targeted credit program. HPA is designed to provide below-market-rate credit to support our members in modifying or refinancing mortgage loans for low- to moderate-income homeowners who may be at risk of losing their primary residence because of delinquency or default on their mortgage loan.
 
Uses of HPA Funds

  • Refinance or modify existing mortgage loans to help homeowners avoid foreclosure by lowering their mortgage payments.
  • Give homeowners facing unaffordable interest rate resets on their adjustable rate mortgages the opportunity to obtain a fixed rate mortgage.
  • Provide reverse mortgages to enable elderly homeowners to preserve homeownership.
Key Advantages of HPA Funds 

  • Cost Reductions:  Interest rates are generally lower than rates on regular Bank advances.
  • Flexible Credit Options:  HPA credit is available in all maturities for a wide array of credit programs.
  • Continuous Availability:  HPA applications can be made at any time.
  • Community Development:  HPA credit may help you achieve your community investment goals.
  • Complements an Upcoming Bank Grant Program:  HPA credit may be used in tandem with the Homeownership Preservation Subsidy (HPS), a pilot set-aside program currently in development and expected to be available in April 2008. HPS will provide matching grants that members can use to restructure mortgage loans for eligible low- and moderate-income homeowners who may be at risk of foreclosure on their primary residence because of unaffordable increases in their monthly mortgage payments.
Visit the Bank’s website at fhlbsf.com for the HPA product profile and application, located under Credit Products in the Community Investment section of the site.  If you have additional questions about HPA, please contact your Relationship Manager.
 
Sincerely,


Dean Schultz
