U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Steve Preston reports that lenders are more receptive to writing down the principal of homes on the verge of foreclosure, Congress Daily reported. Preston expressed hope that more lenders will utilize a new $300 billion government program designed to place at-risk borrowers into a fixed-rate loan they can afford. While he noted that lenders typically don't prefer to write down the principal of a loan, Preston said he has sensed a change among lenders due to the severity of the foreclosure crisis and the availability of the new program.
