Housing and Mortgage Management and Oversight

A Strategy for Successful Management and Oversight of Housing and Mortgage Programs and Activities

The ongoing management and oversight of the US Housing industry, and the associated mortgages, encompasses conducting a broad range of activities and functions within Federal, state, and local governments; as well as in the private sector. These services and functions are designed to improve the housing stock availability at the lowest cost to the Federal government. They are also designed to mitigate losses to the government's insurance funds, ensure that predatory lending practices are limited, ensure that mortgage origination processes are sound, ensure that the acquisition and disposition of Section 8 properties is efficient, ensure that bond issuances secured by government revenue streams are sustainable, and that asset disposition programs of Federal government owned housing (in partnership with the private sector ) yield reasonable returns to the Federal government and meet broad public policy objectives. To accomplish these goals, a successful public sector housing program must have at its core: Property Appraisal, Listing, Titling, Offer Acceptance, Sales Closing, Data Management, Preservation, and Property Maintenance. Regis & Associates, PC's relevant experience in the housing industry makes it uniquely qualified to provide a broad range of housing and mortgage related services to the public and private sectors.
