Washington, D.C. – The Housing Policy Council (HPC) is pleased to announce that Matt Douglas has been promoted to the position of Senior Vice President for Mortgage Policy. Matt leads HPC’s policy engagements related to mortgage servicing and origination.

“HPC benefits from Matt’s exceptional housing finance knowledge and keen understanding of how ideas are turned into federal policy,” said HPC President Ed DeMarco. “He has strong relationships with an extensive set of housing stakeholders, with whom he collaborates regularly to enhance HPC’s policy work, and has established excellent lines of communication with government agency and regulatory officials. As a result, Matt’s contribution to the policy dialogue in Washington DC is invaluable to HPC’s mission to improve the housing finance system on behalf of our members.”
Before joining HPC, Matt was an Assistant Program Manager in the Office of Housing and Community Investment at the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), overseeing the policies related to the Duty to Serve affordable housing program.
