HR 892 lets FHA, VA, and USDA insure or guarantee second mortgages so buyers can assume existing lower-rate first mortgages. Each agency must also publish a public list of every covered property's address and loan origination date within one year.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Mortgage Rate Reduction Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.
Latest action on H.R. 892: Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.
Who this affects: The bill primarily affects homebuyers, homeowners with existing government-backed mortgages, and the three federal agencies that administer these loan programs. It also touches lenders, housing researchers, and local governments that use housing data for planning.
Why this matters: When interest rates rise, buyers pay significantly more over the life of a loan. This bill creates a path for buyers to keep an existing lower-rate mortgage and fill the price gap with a second mortgage backed by the same federal agency. It could reshape how government-backed homes change hands and how much information about those loans is publicly available.

The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
