Which side of the fence are you on? I ask this because I just wrote a blog on HUD getting rid of the down payment assistance programs.
Some of the arguments being made is that everyone would be better off with the 100% financing programs, even through HUD/FHA's 100% program. That the DPA's (down payment assistance) programs should be banned.
First off, FHA doesn't have a 100% financing program as of yet, which was mentioned in the previous blog. It still needs to be voted in by the 110th Congress.
Second, FHA does have some things approved, but it's up to Congress to decide. (this link will take you to another blog to continue this discussion)
