Re: Paulson, Bernanke and Sheila Bair... (none / 1)

according to Bair, she's presently working with 60,000 total foreclosures, of which roughly 40,000 are eligible, for income, existing debt, owner-occupation, or other reasons, for loan modification. She expects that 30,000 of those will successfully reach agreements with banks and get some mortgage relief.

The program is evidently set to explode, as Bair projects she'll be working with some 1.5 million foreclosures in 2009 (hard to believe she's set up to work with that volume), which appears to be somewhere around 30% of projected foreclosures next year.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think Blair was only working with IndyMac clients at this point.
