CFA’s Comments on the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Proposed 2025-2027 Housing Goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

CFA submitted comments in response to FHFA's proposed Housing Goals within single-family as well as FHFA's proposed regulatory changes. The 2025-2027 Affordable Housing Goals are articulated at a time of deep housing distress for millions of U.S. families. Research has estimated a national housing shortage of anywhere between 1.5 and 5.5 million units. CFA's feedback and recommendations to FHFA include urging the agency to set ambitious housing goals that drive the enterprises to lead the market and calling on the agency to specifically articulate the Housing Plan enforcement provisions.
