§ 51127 Housing Loan Insurance Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The agency can help make housing loans safer or more valuable by promising to cover them if something goes wrong.
  • •They can also back loans for fixing up homes, but only if those loans are already protected by the U.S. government.
  • •This doesn’t mean the state itself is taking on debt or owing money.

Example

A family wants to buy a house but the bank is worried the loan might not be paid back.

The agency can step in and promise the bank that if the family can’t pay, the agency will cover it. This makes the bank more likely to give the loan.

§ 51127 Housing Loan Insurance Authority

The agency may insure or guarantee any obligation held by the agency and secured by a mortage on a housing development or residential structure for the purpose of increasing its acceptability or value for sale or as security for other obligations. The agency may also insure or guarantee any loan, or participation in a loan, for rehabilitation or home improvement which is insured by an agency or instrumentality of the United States and which is held by the agency. Nothing in this section shall, however, be construed as authorizing the creation of a debt or liability of the state within the meaning of Section 1 of Article XVI of the State Constitution. (Amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1034, Sec. 35.)
