Fannie and Freddie Fell Short of Two Affordable Housing Targets

November 11, 2016
The Federal Housing Finance Agency determined that for 2015 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did not meet all of their low-income and very low-income home-purchase goals, according to the FHFA’s preliminary annual housing report released in late October. Fannie met all of its goals in 2014 but this is the second year that Freddie fell short of meeting the same goals. Under the GSEs’ affordable housing goals, low-income is for home-purchase mortgages to families with incomes no greater than 80 percent of the area median income, and the very low-income home- purchase goal is for families with incomes no greater than 50 percent of AMI. The low-income home-purchase goal was 24 percent and Freddie ended 2015 at 22.3 percent.
