MBA’s President and CEO Bob Broeksmit, CMB, released the following statement on the nomination of Matt Jones to serve as Assistant Secretary at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Commissioner:   

“MBA enthusiastically supports the nomination of Matt Jones to serve as HUD Assistant Secretary of Housing and FHA Commissioner. Matt brings an impressive combination of hands-on mortgage industry experience, deep knowledge of government housing finance, and a strong understanding of how FHA programs can better serve homebuyers, renters, and lenders. His previous leadership of MBA’s government housing finance portfolio and current role overseeing FHA’s single-family operations provide him with valuable perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing the agency.

We will work with Matt, Secretary Turner, and HUD staff to continue to modernize and streamline FHA’s single-family and multifamily lending programs, cut unnecessary red tape, and lower costs for homebuyers and renters.”
