NCSHA Comments to HUD on Program Deregulation Proposals

The National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on behalf of the state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs) it represents on HUD regulations that may be outdated, ineffective, or excessively burdensome.

In addition, HFAs’ strong performance as partners with HUD in the administration of many key affordable housing programs shows that they deserve more flexibility and that HUD can entrust to them more program responsibility.

NCSHA Comments to FHFA on Underserved Market Plans

NCSHA is pleased that both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have proposed in their Underserved Market Plans to build on these partnerships and collaborate with HFAs in their efforts to support underserved communities and markets. Several HFAs have already started to engage with the GSEs on initiatives to help the GSEs reach their Duty to Serve objectives.
