there's no reason we can't protect taxpayers and homeowners. protecting taxpayers in the near term should be a shared and a bipartisan goal. the committee should continue its work examining the gaps in the housing market that the housing crisis exposed. the original to distribute model of certain lenders, exotic products that put even prime borrowers at risk, private label securities that were not backed by gses, and lack standardized terms and responsibilities for trustees, and a near complete breakdown in mortgage servicing and the ability of monoline mortgage insurers to fulfill their commitments. gse easys made mistakes too, chasing the market, providing pricing discounts to be lenders based on volume, using price advantages to achieve shareholder gains rather than passion those benefits on to borrowers in or lenders that served underserved communities. gse mission is to provide a stable, liquid national mortgage market, including in rural, underserved, and low-income communities. something we should all want in any housing finance system.

we've talked in the past about homeowners' associations and what their powers are when homeowners don'tthey can, in fact, initiate foreclosures over monthly dues, fees and assessments. back in florida, we met marshall, who's the neighborhood volunteer chairman of his hoa. he took me to a home that sat abandoned in the neighborhood after the homeowner skipped town. and the bank's foreclosures never seemed to get completed. it's what we've called, in the past, a zombie foreclosure. do you have any idea why they haven't foreclosed on this property? >> i have no idea. >> it's probably because they don't wanna pay the hoa dues. and they don't wanna pay the insurance. and they don't wanna pay the taxes. >> that is probably correct. >> the home's exterior began to deteriorate. and it became an eyesore for the neighborhood. >> most of the screens ended up blowing out. and because this represented a safety risk, the health department from the county came in and secured the pool area itself. so there was a lot of things growin' in there, an enormous amount of algae. neighbors ended up complaining

multiple years in a row we saw a decline in first-time homeowners and we know that those folks living in distressed communities are the folks who are disproportionately representing those folks who are not able to climb out and experience home ownership for the first time. we also know that the difference between the net worth of americans can often times be seen in the equity in that home. a renter's net worth is somewhere around -- under $10,000, according to consumer finance report, and for those who own their home, it's nearly $200,000. so at least 20 times more. and so the question is, how do we help those folks who are paying their rent on time, paying their utilities on time, use that data and evaluating their desire to own a home? so according to the statistics there are about 26 million people who are credit invisible because the models that some use have not been updated to the latest model. i know that you have, i understand, been considering updating the credit scoring model the gses accept. can you tell me how much progress you've made in that direction and what your thou
