NCSHA Commends FHFA Increase in Fannie, Freddie Housing Credit Investment Caps

WASHINGTON, DC — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s investment in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, dating back decades, is the most direct way the companies help expand the supply of affordable homes. The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s announcement today authorizing them to increase the amounts they invest will help make more of those homes more affordable. The announcement complements Congress’ recent step to boost the LIHTC as the housing supply centerpiece of the Big Beautiful Bill recently signed into law by President Trump. On behalf of the state agencies that administer the credits, the National Council of State Housing Agencies commends FHFA Director Bill Pulte for this important, impactful action.
