Obama’s 3 Billion Aid for Foreclosure Home Owners

Posted on 02 September 2010

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

The administration working under President Obama has planned to provide $3 billion to those who are unemployed and soon would be facing their home foreclosure. This is often seen as a case in the nation’s toughest job markets. The main outline for this plan is that there would be a breakup of the total amount. The first breakup of $2 billion will be sent to 17 states which have unemployment rates higher than the national average for a year. Those states would then make use of this money in a manner which would help provide aid to unemployed homeowners.

Some of those states have already designed such programs. The other part of the total will be given towards a new program being run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It will provide homeowners with emergency zero-interest rate loans of up to $50,000 for up to two years.

President Barack Obama brought about a new loan bill in the United States of America, which enabled the prospects of making student loans more easier to obtain. Officially named as the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, this loan bill is actually an extension of the government’s Pell Grants, that aim to help students with their college education, without getting into severe debt crisis later on in their life.

New Student Loan Law By Obama

Posted on 04 April 2010

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

President Barack Obama has signed The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act on Tuesday. This act is about Pell Grant scholarship increase and also about loan issuance directly to borrowers. New Student Loan Law By Obama

The Student Aid Act is a part of health care resolution. House of Representatives have passed the bill by a vote of 253/171 on September 19th and senate has approved the bill by 220/211 votes.

Previously subsidies were given to private loan lenders for providing financial aid to students. This distribution of financial aid was according to Federal Family Education program and is no more in use after the new act passing. But now according to new act all financial aid will directly go through the Direct Loan Program. This will save $87 billion in coming 10 year for the government after eliminating subsidies.

Posted on 04 August 2009

According to a Treasury Department report, the largest U.S. banks have found it more difficult to meet demand for loan modifications than their smaller rivals. As stated by a U.S. Treasury official, the pace and effectiveness of the government’s anti-foreclosure programs has been limited by the inability of some mortgage servicers to keep up with demand.

David Sisko, the head of default management services for Deloitte & Touche LLP said that the Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. are likely to show the poorest levels of homeowner assistance among the 31 companies participating in President Barack Obama’s $75 billion loan modification program. The government said it wants to clearly show the companies that are doing the most to help.

Fed Cuts Short-Term Rates to Nearly Zero

Posted on 18 December 2008

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The United States Federal Reserve says it will use “all available tools” to restart economic growth. The central bank’s main interest rate is now the lowest in its history. This week the Fed cut its target rate of one percent for overnight loans between banks to a target range of zero to one-fourth of one percent. The Fed based its decision on weakening economic conditions.

The Federal Reserve building in Washington D.C.

Americans have decreased their spending every month since July — the longest period in at least sixteen years. Unemployment grew to six and seven-tenths percent in November — the highest in fifteen years.

This week’s cut in the federal funds rate was larger than many economists had expected. The Fed also cut its rate for direct loans to banks. And it began paying interest on balances held in the Federal Reserve System.

In the past, cutting rates has been a powerful tool to lift the economy. But President-elect Barack Obama says it is not enough this time.

BARACK OBAMA: “We’re running out of traditional ammunition that’s used in a recession, which is to lower interest rates. They’re getting to be as low as they can go.”
