Gryphon USA: Extension of eviction, foreclosure moratorium no long-term solution

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Recent actions at the federal level to extend foreclosure and eviction moratoriums on certain sections of the housing market through January will allow the incoming administration of President-elect Biden to revisit the issue after Inauguration Day, according to Columbus distressed assets manager and auctioneer Rich Kruse.

But the Gryphon USA Ltd….

But the Gryphon USA Ltd. principal said adopting that strategy for too long could create risks for the housing market as many landlords and mortgage holders begin to assess the impact on their businesses.

Congress supported the extension of mortgage foreclosures and eviction protections to certain properties through Jan. 31 as part of a second round of support for those facing job loss and other economic stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of federal agencies had already extended the moratorium that were due to expire on Dec. 31.

Kruse said the National Low-Income Housing Coalition has estimated the amounts of back rent owed to be between $30 billion and $70 billion, although a report from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank in early December had put the number at $7.2 billion from the start of the moratoria in March through Dec.1, 2020.

The $600 payments Congress just approved for adults earning less than $75,000 per year, however, will have little impact for the 12 million renters the Low-Income Housing Coalition estimates have accumulated deferred rent since January.

«It’s a finger in the dike that continues to crumble in front of our eyes,» Kruse said.

«Tenants are not likely to use the funds to make rental payments because the government essentially just said the free ride is open for another 2 months,» Kruse said. «There’s nothing here for the housing providers and barely anything for the tenants.»

Mortgage lenders also face an uncertainty on when payments on FHA, VA and other loans backed by the federal agencies will come due. The Visual Capitalist website estimates 17 million adults are behind on the house payments nationally. More than a third of Ohioans are behind on their mortgages or their rent, with 192,000 people poised to face foreclosure or eviction.

«This congressional action, while necessary at the moment, just kicks the can down the road,» Kruse said.

«The Biden administration should look to refocus any future support of the housing industry toward landlords and mortgage holders and quickly allow the marketplace to sort out the economic damage the moratoria have caused,» Kruse said. «Too long of a delay will cause untold harm to the rental properties without a stream of income to pay for general maintenance and create a backlog of distressed owner-occupied homes that could result in damaging the broader home market.»

Kruse serves as managing partner of Gryphon USA Ltd., and oversees the affiliated Gryphon Realty real estate brokerage and the Gryphon Asset Management receivership and asset management practice. His engagements primarily focus on complex state and federal legal matters, Private Selling Officer transactions and business insolvency.

PHFA provides final tallies for the CARES Rent Relief Program

HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — After five months of administering CARES financial assistance for renters, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency is providing final summary data about the performance of the Rent Relief Program, which started accepting applications on July 6. The program was extended by an executive order from Governor Tom Wolf on Oct. 5; it accepted applications through <span…

For the CARES Rent Relief Program (RRP), all 67 participating county organizations have now submitted their final performance data, and that data has been confirmed. A table providing key performance metrics is available on the PHFA website.

«The CARES Rent Relief Program was a major undertaking that required extensive coordination between PHFA and our partner county organizations under extreme time pressure,» said PHFA Executive Director and CEO Robin Wiessmann. «While we all would have liked to have assisted even more renters, we are grateful for the thousands of people we were able to help stay in their homes. We have learned valuable lessons we hope will be applied by the state legislature if additional CARES money is provided to Pennsylvania.

«I want to thank all the county organizations who partnered with us on this effort. The successes we had would never have been possible without their engagement and hard work.»

Summary data for the Pandemic Mortgage Assistance Program will be made available once it is completed and verified.

Background Information
The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed in March, provided $3.9 billion for Pennsylvania. In late May, the General Assembly directed $175 million of these CARES dollars to PHFA to provide assistance for struggling renters and homeowners. The portion for rent assistance was at least $150 million, and $25 million was set aside for mortgage assistance.

During June 2020, PHFA quickly developed two detailed, statewide programs for distributing this financial assistance expeditiously to renters and homeowners in need, following legislative requirements. This effort included extensive coordination with the organizations in all 67 counties that are processing the renters’ applications. The CARES Rent Relief Program and the Pandemic Mortgage Assistance Program were both launched on schedule on June 29, as was required in the state CARES Act. In accordance with the state CARES Act, funding for renters had to be completely distributed by Nov. 30, 2020.

Ongoing Questions from Applicants
Applicants with ongoing questions about their applications for rent relief should reach out to the organization in their county that is processing applications. A county contact list with phone numbers, emails and street addresses is available on the PHFA website at: https://www.phfa.org/pacares/rent.aspx.

Questions from homeowners about their PMAP application should be directed to PHFA. The agency’s call center is available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to assist the public and help with questions about PMAP. The toll-free number is 1-855-U-Are-Home (827-3466). Of course, PHFA is also getting calls from renters and is assisting them, too.

About PHFA
The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency works to provide affordable homeownership and rental housing options for older adults, low- and moderate-income families, and people with special housing needs. Through its carefully managed mortgage programs and investments in multifamily housing developments, PHFA also promotes economic development across the state. Since its creation by the legislature in 1972, it has generated nearly $15 billion of funding for more than 180,750 single-family home mortgage loans, helped fund the construction of 138,000 rental units, distributed more than $121 million to support local housing initiatives, and saved the homes of nearly 50,400 families from foreclosure. PHFA programs and operations are funded primarily by the sale of securities and from fees paid by program users, not by public tax dollars. The agency is governed by a 14-member board.

Tennessee’s Sports Betting Market Off to Best Start in History with $130 Million November, According to PlayTenn Analysts

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Tennessee’s sportsbooks enjoyed the best debut in the history of U.S. legal sports betting, generating more in wagers in the market’s first month than any other state in history, according to analysts from PlayTenn.com, which offers news and analysis on the fledgling <span…

«The best-ever launch for online sports betting is perhaps a surprise to some, but Tennessee also debuted with enormously favorable circumstances, many of which came by design,» said Dustin Gouker, analyst for PlayTenn.com. «First, it debuted in the heart of the NFL and college football seasons in a region that is particularly football crazy. And with the top operators in the country jumping in early to take advantage of the football season in full swing, it was a debut month like no other.»

Tennessee sportsbooks generated $131.4 million in handle in November, according to official data released Wednesday by The Tennessee Education Lottery. That is easily the most in the history of U.S. sports betting, shattering Indiana’s former record of $35.2 million set in September 2019.

The money wagered in Tennessee resulted in a «win» of $13.2 million, which is also the most in history for a state in its first month of legal sports betting. Those proceeds generated $2.4 million in taxes for the state, an impressive total.

To put Tennessee’s debut in context, New Jersey, currently the nation’s largest sports betting market, did not surpass $130 million in month until it generated $183.9 million in its fourth month. It took Pennsylvania, the nation’s No. 3 market, 11 months to top that total when it posted $194.5 million in September 2019.

«Talk about getting the market off on the right foot,» said Jessica Welman, analyst for PlayTenn.com. «Tennessee is a market with enormous potential but untested, making it difficult to predict how bettors would react to start. By topping the next-best debut by nearly $100 million, I’d say that verdict is now in and it is a good one.»

November’s wagers will likely place Tennessee seventh in the U.S., behind New Jersey, presumably Nevada (which will release November data later this month), Pennsylvania, presumably Illinois (data expected to be released in January), Indiana, and Colorado, which produced a state record $231.2 million in November.

Four sportsbooks debuted in the first month, including FanDuel and DraftKings — the two largest operators in the U.S. — as well as fellow heavyweight BetMGM, and local sportsbook Action 24/7. At least three more appear ready to launch after the new year, including BetAmerica, WynnBet, and William Hill.

The state’s operators also got a boost from the success of the Tennessee Titans, which is enjoying one of the best seasons in the NFL and has a historically strong offense.

«Local sports matter in legal sports jurisdictions in the U.S., and a strong NFL team matters more than most, so the Titans success is bound to translate into bets,» Gouker said. «With its growing list of operators, this is just the start for the market. The next question is when and if Tennessee will challenge Colorado and Indiana in terms of overall market size. It appears sooner than anyone expected.»
