The GSEs recently released their plans to improve the mortgage process for borrowers who have a limited proficiency of English and some point to disclosures as being a critical element of the plan. The Federal Housing Finance Agency has asked Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to identify language barrier obstacles for potential borrowers, and come up with possible solutions. The agency’s plan established milestones with start dates this year through 2020. Fannie and Freddie are spending the first half of 2018 defining roles and responsibilities for both a resource clearinghouse and a language access working group consisting of housing representatives to work with consumer groups that support LEP consumers.
