Freddie mixes up its capital offerings with social bonds in support of intellectually and developmentally challenged individuals.

Jason Griest has been with Freddie for the past eight years. Prior to that, he held capital markets or securitizations positions at Fannie Mae, Bank of America and JP Morgan.

Even though the GSEs actively support small lenders on the single-family side of the house, critics say their multifamily businesses continue to favor larger financial institutions.

Fannie continues to cut the size of its retained mortgage portfolio.

The mortgage giant taps two vice presidents to oversee equitable housing issues on both the single-family and multifamily sides of the company.

Fannie financed $76 billion through its Delegated Underwriting and Servicing program, while Freddie pumped out $82.5 billion in loan purchases and guarantees.

The GSEs plan to increase loan purchases in all three DTS categories: manufactured housing, rural areas and affordable preservation.

New multifamily caps, announced in November, also included changes to the definition of “mission-driven.”

The program has accounted for a cumulative savings of 827 million gallons in water consumed and 152 million kilo-BTUs in energy savings.

The GSEs have consistently exceeded their affordable housing goals. Is it time to raise them?
