Genworth's long-standing HFA Advisory Board, which works to ensure the company is attuned to the unique needs of the segment, illustrates the company's commitment to the HFA space and deep integration with each of its state-level partners. The company also has an array of dedicated HFA experts, including underwriters, risk managers, and industry trainers and consultants.

"We have a long, mutually beneficial history with Genworth," said Tim Hsu, CalHFA's Director of Single Family Lending. "What's made that history work is Genworth's dedication to personal relationships with their clients, and Steve is a great fit to fill the role of HFA Segment Leader. We're all looking forward to working with him to continue our great history."
