The problem is they loan money for homes, then turn around and buy stocks, bonds and that money perpetuates a huge cash reserve for them.   If you go to there websites you have to check out their financial reports. They have done amazingly well making a bunch of money. They paid the state a measly 10 million dollar dividend on nearly 500 million in cash.  

As far as home loan assistance for those who need it, that's not a bad idea. But they also loan to folks who qualify at private banks.  On the other hand private business can go to a private bank with their pro forma and ask for a loan, not a state government quasi entity. We cannot afford this anymore. I'm not sure what the Director's make, but it's probably a lot more than Walker as they are outside that wage control.

These two programs are dinosaurs started in the 80's and need to be restructured so the state derives a much better return.

They operate like banks. That money could really help ease this whole situation.
