AI Summary

This bill aims to promote access to mortgage credit during the COVID-19 pandemic by preventing restrictions on providing federal backing for single-family mortgage loans in forbearance. It prohibits the government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from refusing to purchase mortgages solely due to the borrower being in forbearance, and prevents the Department of Housing and Urban Development from denying mortgage insurance or otherwise altering pricing for such mortgages. The bill also requires quarterly reporting on the impact of the pandemic on the enterprises and Federal Housing Administration mortgage insurance programs, including data on loan purchases, forbearances, loan modifications, and assistance provided to underserved communities.
