<p>President Donald Trump issued a disaster declaration for 18 counties in the area including Aransas, Bee, Brazoria, Calhoun, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Goliad, Harris, Jackson, Kleberg, Liberty, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Victoria and Wharton. The president may add more counties as more data becomes available.</p>

<p>Now, the <strong>U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development</strong> announced it is offering mortgage and foreclosure relief as well as other assistance to some families, including to the 200,000 FHA-insured homeowners, living in the impacted areas.</p>            <div class="advertisement ad-mobile-only" id=""><div class="advertisement" id="div-gpt-ad-rect-b-mobile"></div></div>


<p>&ldquo;Today, our thoughts and prayers are with those who are beginning the process of recovering from Hurricane Harvey,&rdquo; HUD Secretary Ben Carson said. &ldquo;As FEMA begins to assess the damage and respond to the immediate needs of residents, HUD will be there to offer assistance and support the longer-term housing recovery efforts.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Here is the disaster assistance HUD announced it is extending to the Houston area:</p>

<p><strong>Assisting the state and local governments in re-allocating existing federal resources toward disaster relief</strong> &ndash; HUD&#39;s Community Development Block Grant and HOME programs give the state and communities the flexibility to redirect millions of dollars in annual funding for critical needs, including housing and services for disaster victims. HUD is currently contacting state and local officials to explore streamlining the department&#39;s CDBG and HOME programs in order to expedite the repair and replacement of damaged housing.</p>

<p><strong>Granting immediate foreclosure relief</strong> &ndash; HUD is granting a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures and forbearance on foreclosures of <strong>Federal Housing Administration</strong>-insured home mortgages.</p>

<p><strong>Making mortgage insurance availabl</strong>e &ndash; One HUD program provides FHA insurance to disaster victims who have lost their homes and are forced to rebuild or buy another home. Borrowers from participating FHA-approved lenders may be eligible for 100% financing.</p>

<p><strong>Making insurance available for both mortgages and home rehabilitation</strong> &ndash; Another HUD loan program enables the purchase or refinance of a house along with its repair through a single mortgage. It also allows homeowners who have damaged homes to finance the rehabilitation of their existing single-family home.</p>

<p><strong>Offering Section 108 loan guarantee assistance</strong> &ndash; HUD will offer state and local governments federally guaranteed loans for housing rehabilitation, economic development and repair of public infrastructure.</p>

<p>The extent&nbsp;of the damage could take some time, possibly even years, to repair, one expert explained.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The effects of Hurricane Harvey on south Texas have been tragic and devastating,&rdquo; <strong>BTIG</strong> homebuilding analyst Carl Reichardt said. &ldquo;It is likely that homebuilders in the region will be negatively impacted as well.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Clean-up and repair in affected areas will take time and resources that might otherwise be focused on new construction, especially as subcontractor labor is tight,&rdquo; Reichardt said.</p>

        [Subscribers only] Multigenerational living, where two or more adult generations live under the same roof, is becoming a growing trend in the U.S. Currently about 19% of Americans now live in a multigenerational household, the highest level since 1950. That amounts to about 60.6 million adults in 2014, up from 57 million adults in 2012. And homebuilders have taken notice, designing houses specifically catered to this segment.

        Would-be homeowners are inundated with picture-perfect examples of new and remodeled homes brimming with upgrades. But in the real world, homebuilders and investors must calculate the rate of return on these sometimes fleeting trends, weighing what buyers want with what they can actually afford. This feature looks at which features buyers of different age demographics consider the most important, and what that means for sellers.

        We’ve found that the handling and posting of payments during bankruptcy has been a widespread issue in our testing environment. Specifically, there is increased risk exposure in pre-and post-petition payment application and treatment, both inside and outside of the bankruptcy plan. Servicers and sub-servicers have created manual workflow workarounds to address the issue, however, it does open the servicer up to more exposure to calculation errors.
