NEW YORK -- 

Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases research which further discusses homeownership as one of the key social factors in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations related to RMBS, in particular as it pertains to wealth accumulation and other societal benefits. This report examines the growing gap in homeownership rates between minority and white Americans, while addressing the potential credit risk implications of the proposed down payment assistance grant policies and the impacts on home equity leverage levels. Our analysis focuses on the below areas:

  • Consideration of a range of property values and loan amounts typical of areas targeted for homeownership support.
  • Potential variations in expected grant support including full, partial and no grant support levels.
  • Associated default and loss expectations using KBRA’s RMBS Residential Mortgage Default and Loss Model.
