The agency released a plan Tuesday that would provide incentives for owners of manufactured housing communities to reform their practices if they want to tap financing by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Fannie Mae is offering yet another carrot to lenders that have lobbied extensively for relief from loan repurchases.
