The announcement comes a day after American Home Mortgage, once one of the nation’s biggest lenders, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Also on Monday, two other large mortgage firms in Houston and Cleveland said they were suspending new loan applications.


HomeBanc, in a statement on its Web site, said it is unable to borrow on its credit facilities and was unable to meet its mortgage loan funding obligations as of Monday.

"Accordingly, the company does not anticipate funding any future mortgage loans and is no longer accepting any mortgage loan applications or funding any mortgage loans previously originated but not yet funded," HomeBanc said.
