Crapo Releases Housing Finance Reform Plan
On February 1, 2019, Senate Banking Committee Chair Mike Crapo (R-ID) released an outline of his housing finance reform plan, which includes a securitization platform operated by Ginnie Mae and would replace the GSEs’ housing goals and duty to serve with a new Market Access Fund. The Market Access Fund, Housing Trust Fund, and Capital Magnet Fund would share the proceeds of a 10-basis point fee on annual loan volume guaranteed by the new system.
