News Release from Fannie Mae. On Feb 27, 2008, Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) announced  that, as part of its HomeStayTM initiative to support its mortgage servicers as they provide at-risk borrowers with refinancing and loan workout assistance, it is offering a new option — HomeSaver AdvanceTM. 

HomeSaver Advance is designed to help qualified borrowers bring delinquent mortgages current and keep their homes. With HomeSaver Advance, servicers can now offer an unsecured, personal loan that will enable a qualified borrower to cure the payment default on a mortgage loan that Fannie Mae owns or has securitized, with fewer up-front costs and generally in less time.

"HomeSaver Advance will help Fannie Mae streamline its loss mitigation efforts and offer loan servicers a new way to cope with a delinquent loan," said Mike Quinn, Fannie Mae Senior Vice President for Single-Family Credit Risk Management. "Our research shows that most borrowers become delinquent because of a temporary life event or hardship. This loan can offer these borrowers another alternative, and help prevent a temporary setback from becoming a foreclosure."

HomeSaver Advance will provide Fannie Mae with an enhanced ability to manage credit risk and conserve capital during the housing downturn. Fannie Mae anticipates that HomeSaver Advance will reduce the number of delinquent mortgage loans it purchases from its mortgage-backed securities trusts and the fair value losses it would record in connection with those purchases.
