Statement by David M. Dworkin, President and CEO, National Housing Conference, on the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s proposed 2022-2024 housing goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
FHFA’s new housing goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are an important step towards increasing liquidity of the affordable housing mortgage market. They will significantly improve the impact Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have on home mortgage lenders’ ability to increase homeownership opportunities to historically underserved communities. They are also well within historic risk levels to ensure the Enterprises operate safely and soundly while protecting homebuyers from taking irresponsible risks.
