Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition Press Release on FHFA Proposed Fair Lending Oversight Rule

On April 19, 2023, NCSHA signed onto a press release by the Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition (UMMC) regarding the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s proposed rule on Fair Lending Oversight. The press release expresses support for FHFA’s proposal to codify into federal regulations the requirement that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac publish and maintain Equitable Housing Finance Plans. The plans outline how each firm will support equitable and sustainable housing opportunities. UMMC also urges FHFA to consider the input of affordable housing advocates when drafting its final rule.
