To justify their opposition, these organizations use the same flawed and faulty data used by HUD which has already been dismissed as inaccurate by the courts when it has been challenged.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. housing markets are already under fire from every direction, yet government officials are taking no action to protect the interests of the average citizen. Officials are putting all their efforts into programs designed to protect the interests of wealthy mortgage banking firms and <a href=\"http:\/\/millionaireblog.info\" class=\"kblinker\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More about real estate &raquo;\">real estate<\/a> investors while giving only lip service to the troubles of average citizens.<\/p>\n<p>HUD data has been proven unreliable. Data available directly from the lenders actually originating and servicing the loans indicates that stricter underwriting and better fraud control would essentially get rid of the gap in foreclosure rates between borrowers using down payment assistance and those making nearly meaningless 3% down payments.<\/p>\n<p>Contact your Representative and Senators as soon as possible. Every possible effort should be exerted to save these beneficial down payment assistance programs.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Get all the information on the battle to keep <a href=\"http:\/\/fhaloanadvice.com\/some-details-on-the-return-of-down-payment-assistance\/\">down payment assistance programs<\/a> for FHA loans.
