FHFA

From changing the boards of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to nixing DEI programs, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's Pulte era has been busy.

The Trump administration's appointees have been quick to roll back misguided Biden-era initiatives, writes the Chairman of Whalen Global Advisors.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency ended comments on expanded suspended counterparties list criteria in December and has done nothing with it since.

Policy shifts and economic headwinds could reshape mortgage finance under Trump II says the Chairman of Whalen Global Advisors.

FHFA director Pulte called these programs inappropriate for regulated entities, which are in government conservatorship, but said others are still able to offer them.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency found the practice aimed at selling more real-estate owned homes to occupants had downsides, according to a recent order.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency's withdrawal of tenant requirements and an unfair or deceptive acts or practices bulletin sets the tone for the future.

Experts said such a move would follow the Trump administration's plan to shrink and privatize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The head of operations at the Federal Housing Finance Agency and two C-suite leaders at the government-sponsored enterprise are out, according to Semafor.

The regulator is reviewing Fannie's operations and those of another government-sponsored enterprise, where there was reportedly a separate executive departure.
