This week, nominees Alanna McCargo, James Arthur Jemison II, and Mark Colon will appear before the Senate as nominees for roles with Ginnie Mae and HUD.

The Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee has called upon President Biden to drop the Acting Director title and nominate Sandra L. Thompson as Director of FHFA.

The Biden Administration and the FHFA have announced several new initiatives to combat housing inequality, including the GSE investment of up to $850 million annually in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.

New goals set forth by the GSEs establish benchmarks and seek to promote equitable access to affordable housing for all.

Fannie Mae will begin to account for rental payments in its underwriting decision-making process in an effort to offset an imbalance in homeownership.

The two agencies announced the renewal of protections for homeowners and tenants as a federal ban aiming to prevent a wave of homelessness expires this weekend.

Through its Duty to Serve program, the FHFA is seeking equitable housing options for underserved markets as a solution to closing the affordability gap.

As part of the Duty to Serve program, the GSEs will present three virtual Listening Sessions focusing on rural housing, affordable housing preservation, and manufactured housing.

Following rules implemented by the CFPB, the FHFA has taken action to further shelter homeowners from foreclosure and eviction actions by mandating increased consumer protections.

Just days after Sandra L. Thompson was named Acting Director, the FHFA continued to bolster its support staff with the appointment of three more to its leadership ranks.
