NCSHA Comment Letter Asks FHFA to Address Racial Justice, HFA Lending in Affordable Housing Goals
On February 28, 2021, NCSHA provided these comments to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in response to its Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Enterprise Housing Goals, urging FHFA to establish robust goals that push Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) to do as much responsible affordable lending as possible and to serve underserved markets better. In the letter, NCSHA also recommends that FHFA encourage the Enterprises to increase lending to people of color and address impediments to increased Enterprise support for HFA affordable housing lending.
