On January 26, Credit Union employees representing the Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions were provided an opportunity to attend a half-day training seminar which targeted key elements of HASP (Homeowners Affordability and Stability Program), HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program), and HAMP (Home Affordable Modification Program). The training seminar was led by Lyn McGregor, President of CU Support Services, Inc. and Mike Goetz of Outsource Solutions Group, LLC. Both companies are based in Tampa, FL and offer a variety of mortgage services to their members and customers, respectively.
After polling member credit unions during its 2010 strategic planning process, the Tampa Chapter identified a need for additional information and resources regarding HASP, HARP, and HAMP and quickly organized a seminar date and location. During the three-hour seminar, Ms. McGregor and Mr. Goetz provided the thirty-three participants a well-rounded summary and value of each program. In addition, the presenters offered advice, strategies, and clarification on many of the programs’ details and processes. Feedback from the credit unions confirmed the topics were timely and well-received.
