A new advisory bulletin from the FHFA will require the GSEs to come up with comprehensive, actionable plans to deal with the impacts of climate change on housing finance.

The Financial Stability Oversight Council last week endorsed FHFA’s years-long request for prudential regulatory authority over nonbank mortgage servicers.

A coalition of trade groups has told FHFA that they can’t accurately compare new credit scores with old ones unless they have data going back prior to the financial crisis.

Among the questions raised is should FHFA continue to focus on how much liquidity FHLBanks provide for housing and community development or are there other components to FHLBank operations that deserve more attention.

FHFA and the Mortgage Bankers Association have asked legislators to exempt Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from new laws governing the use of automated underwriting systems and other artificial intelligence tools.

FHFA and its Office of Inspector General both missed the Bureau of Fiscal Service’s faulty calculation of the agency watchdog’s yearend payroll liability.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency last week joined the OCC, FDIC and NCUA in reproposing a rule that will prohibit incentive-based compensation agreements.

FHFA has appointed Luis Campudoni chief information officer and Mary Peterman as chief financial officer.

Even though Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac maintained healthy profits in a tough market in the first quarter, their capital shortfalls under the ERCF remained absurdly high. (Includes data table.)

Although some non-agency players may see Freddie’s plan to purchase closed-end seconds as competition, many lenders see a way to create more liquidity in the sector.
