CBC Mortgage Agency President Miki Adams Congratulates Scott Turner on HUD Secretary Confirmation

Adams commends Turner's expertise and commitment to housing accessibility

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Miki Adams, president of CBC Mortgage Agency (CBCMA), a Native American wholly-owned and federally chartered housing finance agency that provides financing for down payment assistance (DPA), today congratulated Scott Turner on his Senate confirmation as secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

"Secretary Turner's expertise in community development and housing will serve him well in this important role at the helm of HUD," Adams said. "We look forward to working with him as he navigates a market grappling with higher interest rates, low inventory and steep home-price increases."

HUD oversees the Federal Housing Administration, which insures first mortgages acquired by CBCMA as a correspondent investor. The loans are subsequently securitized through Ginnie Mae.

CBCMA's DPA programs help first-time, low- to moderate-income, and minority borrowers across the nation. Its Borrower Success program provides ongoing support to ensure homeowners remain successful and to enable them to build wealth through responsible homeownership.

"CBCMA provides down payment assistance without any financial support from federal or state governments," Adams said. " We have helped more than 50,000 families achieve the American dream of homeownership who otherwise might never have had the opportunity."

According to HUD data, borrowers using CBCMA's DPA programs and other similar government programs have lower default rates than FHA borrowers who obtain down payment help from family members. Adams attributes CBCMA's lower default rates to the structure of its programs, which include pre-purchase counseling for lower-FICO score borrowers and 18 months of free, one-on-one post-purchase counseling.
