    Legislation

    • This is the discussion draft of legislation taken up by the House Financial Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing, and Community Opportunity. The bill is designed to help ensure the fiscal solvency of the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) single-family mortgage insurance program. The legislation is intended to reduce the risk that the FHA could require a taxpayer bailout.

    • This proposal enhances efforts of state Housing Finance Agencies (HFA) to develop and preserve assisted multifamily housing by authorizing the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) to securitize any FHA risk-share multifamily loans under the same terms and conditions as if the loan were insured under the National Housing Act.
