- Allows certain homeowners to refinance their bad adjustable rate loans.
- Offers a lifeline to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac who appear to be struggling and also exerts more control over those two "pseudo-government" agencies.
- Provides $3.9 billion to neighborhoods where foreclosures are prominent. The money is to buy and fix up properties in those neighborhoods as a means to increase surrounding property values.
It's that last point that I have not figured out yet. I have not read how that plan will be executed and by whom.
