Preserving American Homeownership Act of 2014

Preserving American Homeownership Act of 2014 - Requires the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Federal Housing Commissioner each to establish a pilot program to encourage the use of shared equity mortgage modifications designed to return greater net present value to investors than other loss-mitigation activities, including foreclosure.

Requires a shared equity mortgage modification to:

  • reduce by specified action the loan-to-value ratio of a covered mortgage to 100% or less within 3 years;
  • reduce the interest rate if such a reduction of principal would not result in an affordable reduced monthly payment;
  • reduce to a specified amount any periodic payment the homeowner is required to make;
  • require the homeowner to pay the investor, upon refinancing or selling the real property securing a covered mortgage, up to 50% of the amount of the equity value of the real property, subject to certain conditions;
  • be designed to deliver maximal net present value to the investor; and
  • be based on specified factors.
