FHFA
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced new proposed housing goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for 2025-2027, reaffirming their mission to purchase mortgages that “responsibly promote equitable access to affordable housing that reaches low- and moderate-income families, minority communities, and other underserved populations.”
On the single-family side, the FHFA proposes that 25% of the purchase mortgages acquired by Fannie and Freddie go to borrowers earning less than 80% area median income, a drop from the 28% required in the current housing goals.
FHFA also set a new goal for very low-income purchases (borrowers earning less than 50% AMI) at 6%, down from 7% in the current plans. The income refinance goal of 26% as proposed is unchanged, as is the purchase sub-goal for low-income census tracts at 4%. The minority census tracts home purchase goal as proposed for 2025-2027 is 12%, up from the current 10%.
