NCSHA Letter to FHFA on Proposed Rule Codifying GSE Fair Housing, Equitable Housing Finance Plans Requirements

On June 26, 2023, NCSHA submitted the attached letter in support of a Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) proposed rule that would codify into regulation many of FHFA’s existing policies and practices for supporting fair housing and an equitable housing finance market. The letter expresses NCSHA’s strong support for a provision in the proposed rule to codify FHFA’s directive requiring each of the GSEs to develop Equitable Housing Finance Plans that outline what efforts they intend to take over a three-year period to increase equity in housing finance and includes several provisions for improving transparency about plan implementation and evaluation.
