Nonprofit groups said the new rule will lead to higher guarantee fees, potentially pricing many low-income families and families of color out of the GSE channel.

Still, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), chair of the House Financial Services Committee, urged the Federal Housing Finance Agency to kill the LLPA outright.

Models using the most likely assumptions about retained earnings, capital requirements and expected returns suggest the GSEs would have unsuccessful public offerings.

The FHFA, which serves as the regulator and conservator of the GSEs, lacks the authority to supervise Fannie’s and Freddie’s third-party cloud service providers.

After the comment period on the re-proposed GSE capital rule closes, the FHFA will hold “listening sessions” allowing stakeholders to elaborate on their comments.

MBA President Bob Broeksmit argues that the new LLPA “flies in the face of the administration’s recent executive actions urging federal agencies to take all measures within their authorities to support struggling homeowners.”

The deadline, already extended once by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is unlikely to get another extension.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac said the new guidance may impact the size and types of investments they can make.

Tenants must be informed that, even after the moratorium on evictions ends, the landlord must still give them at least a 30-day notice to vacate.

The improved financial performance of the GSEs largely reflects the impact of CECL. The provisions for losses that would have been made in 2Q20 under the old accounting standard were already accounted for by CECL, which was adopted in December. (Includes data chart.)
