The limits on Fannie’s and Freddie’s annual investment in low-income housing tax credit programs has jumped from $850 million to $1 billion each.

Although Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac met their duty-to-serve obligations, that doesn't mean they achieved all their goals. Both enterprises received low scores in some categories.

A proposed new rule expanding the GSEs’ ability to purchase loans on properties with private transfer fee covenants should encourage more engagement in shared-equity programs.

Implementation of the new AMI limits took place this week in Loan Product Advisor and will take place next week in Desktop Underwriter.

HeritageOne will provide financing for single-family homes located on federally designated tribal lands. Only primary residences are eligible.

HeritageOne, a single-family mortgage product, addresses goals outlined in Freddie's 2022-2024 duty-to-serve plan.

The new rule would solidify the GSEs’ equitable housing finance plans, fair housing reporting and collection of language preference data.

New definitions in the amended rule will expand the number of colonias eligible for credit under the duty-to-serve obligations of the GSEs.

The new rule changes the definition of "colonia" and "rural area" to ensure more of these impoverished, predominantly Latino communities are covered under the regulation.

The regulator proposed a more standard, nationwide definition of “colonia” to make it easier for the enterprises and lenders to identify communities where their activities are eligible for credit under DTS.
