§5220b — Title 12 Banks and Banking | U.S. Code

Summary

HUD must create a program to protect people living in, and buildings that are at risk of losing, multifamily housing. The program can do things like make sure the buildings have long-term financing (by looking at rental income and reserve money), keep the same federal, state, and city financial help that existed on July 21, 2010, provide money for repairs, and help owners transfer properties to responsible new owners when the owners agree while keeping the homes affordable. HUD may work with Treasury, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and other federal agencies. Multifamily properties means a building with 5 or more homes. Starting 60 days after July 21, 2010, no one may begin getting help from the Making Home Affordable Program or other mortgage help under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 if, in the last 10 years, they were convicted in a mortgage or real estate deal of certain crimes (theft/fraud/forgery, money laundering, or tax evasion). HUD must set rules to enforce this and must report to the House Committee on Financial Services and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs about how it is being carried out.
