Ginnie Mae and the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) will co-host the “Mortgage Market Resilience and Access to Credit Summit” on Tuesday, October 15 at HUD’s headquarters. This event will explore the intersection between liquidity for mortgage lenders, servicers, and mortgage-backed securities Issuers, and the preservation of borrowers’ access to affordable credit throughout the economic cycle. This hybrid summit brings together leaders from the federal government, private sector, and housing industry to discuss the critical role of independent mortgage banks in the housing finance ecosystem.
Adrianne Todman, Acting HUD Secretary, will deliver opening remarks, followed by a fireside chat with Sam Valverde, Ginnie Mae Acting President, and Daniel Hornung, Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy at the National Economic Council. The summit will also feature three dynamic, expert-led panels examining industry risks, exploring innovative strategies for addressing market challenges, and engaging in meaningful discussions on solutions that could shape the future of housing finance.
“We are committed to empowering Americans with the opportunities and resources needed to build their futures—especially in securing stable, affordable housing,” said Acting Secretary Todman. “Independent mortgage banks play a key role in making this a reality, and this summit will shine a spotlight on their essential contributions to our housing market.”
