| 12/19/2024 | | WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Ginnie Mae announced the upcoming retirement of Leslie Meaux Pordzik, Senior Vice President of the Office of Issuer and Portfolio Management, effective December 27, 2024, following a distinguished 36-year career in the mortgage finance industry and 13 years with the agency.
Leslie provided critical leadership during a period of significant growth and change at Ginnie Mae. She oversaw more than 400 Issuers, modernized compliance and monitoring protocols, and introduced innovative tools such as the Issuer Operational Performance Profile—Ginnie Mae’s first scorecard and a cornerstone of its oversight efforts. She also developed a comprehensive framework to manage Issuers along the compliance continuum, ensuring Ginnie Mae’s readiness to lead Issuers unable to meet their obligations, protecting the government guaranty and mitigating risks to borrowers and taxpayers. Most recently, she spearheaded the creation of the Ginnie Mae Central application, a modernization initiative that enhances operational efficiency and streamlines processes for Issuers.
“With over a decade of service at Ginnie Mae and an expansive career in housing finance, Leslie has left an indelible mark on the agency,” said Gregory Keith, Acting Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Ginnie Mae. “Her leadership, vision, and dedication have strengthened Issuer partnerships, modernized critical processes, and enhanced the resilience of our operations. Her contributions have positioned Ginnie Mae for continued success. On a personal level, Leslie has always been a champion for doing what is best for American homeowners, renters, assisted living and skilled nursing patients, and the taxpayers.”
Effective immediately upon Leslie’s retirement, Harlan Jones will serve as the Acting Senior Vice President of Issuer and Portfolio Management. Harlan brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of Ginnie Mae’s operations.
Former Ginnie Mae President Ted Tozer also shared, “Leslie not only cared deeply about Ginnie Mae’s success but also about the broader housing finance industry. She was a dedicated leader and will be missed by all who had the privilege of working with her.”
Reflecting on her time at Ginnie Mae, Leslie shared, “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve at Ginnie Mae. I am immensely proud of the work we’ve accomplished to strengthen Issuer oversight, modernize processes, and protect the government guaranty. I leave confidently that the agency is well positioned to meet its mission thanks to the dedication of my colleagues and the entire Ginnie Mae team.”

| 11/25/2024 | | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Ginnie Mae announced the finalized term sheet for its Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) Mortgage-Backed Securities (HMBS) 2.0 program. The finalization follows an extensive stakeholder engagement process and public comments received after the June 2024 release of the proposed HMBS 2.0 term sheet.
“The finalized HMBS 2.0 term sheet demonstrates Ginnie Mae’s commitment to providing innovative solutions for the reverse mortgage industry,” said Acting President Sam Valverde. “This program will facilitate much-needed liquidity for Issuers while improving the stability of the government-backed reverse mortgage market. As my final major initiative at Ginnie Mae, I am proud to see the critical policy work completed.”
The HMBS 2.0 program addresses liquidity challenges when HECM loans are bought out of traditional HMBS pools but cannot be immediately assigned to the Federal Housing Administration because of incomplete documentation or unresolved borrower defaults. The program introduces revised pooling options that provide Issuers with durable liquidity solutions while maintaining protections for taxpayers.
Key features of the finalized term sheet include:
- Defining HECM collateral criteria and Issuer eligibility requirements.
- Extending the Mandatory Buyout threshold to 150% of the Maximum Claim Amount.
- Capping pooling participation at 95% to incentivize Issuers to mitigate risks to taxpayers.
- Allowing securitization of certain loan advances, including those related to due and payable loans.
- Revising pool certification requirements to account for foreclosure or legal documentation challenges while incorporating alternative property valuation methods.
- Adjusting the Maximum Adjusted Property Value Ratio (MAPVR):
- 70% MAPVR for HECM loans bought out before the program’s implementation.
- 60% MAPVR for other HECM loans.
- MAPVR determined at the time of pooling will remain valid for subsequent participations.
- Specifying HMBS 2.0 pool types to provide clarity and alignment with program requirements.
These provisions aim to stabilize the reverse mortgage sector by addressing Issuers’ liquidity needs while preserving long-term market integrity. With the policy work completed, Ginnie Mae is now focused on program implementation and is working closely with vendors and contractors to establish a comprehensive work schedule and completion timeline.
