Federal Housing Administration Commissioner David H. Stevens will become head of the Mortgage Bankers Association after he leaves his government post this month, the trade group said.
Stevens last week announced his intention to resign from the housing agency. He will join the Washington-based bankers group in May.
Michael D. Berman, chairman of the bankers group, called Stevens “uniquely qualified” for the job.
“He has had a tremendous impact at FHA,” Berman said in a statement today.
