Schwartz Joins FormFree Board

Faith SchwartzAthens, Georgia-based FormFree® announced that housing finance expert Faith Schwartz has been elected to its board of directors.

Schwartz has played a firsthand role in shaping current housing finance best practices and public policy.

In 2007, Schwartz was recruited to lead HOPE NOW, an alliance formed by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in response to the housing market crisis. As HOPE NOW’s executive director, a position she refers to as a “career highlight,” Schwartz assembled a coalition of government agencies, lending institutions, nonprofits and housing trades.

“FormFree’s data-driven solutions have found a unique toehold in the mortgage industry and have the potential to transform the broader financial services landscape,” said Schwartz. “Automated verification of borrower assets, employment and income makes lending simple and secure for everyone involved. I look forward to being part of a growing company that is shaping the future of lending.”
