During a recent congressional hearing, FHFA Director Sandra Thompson said the agency will conduct a 90-year lookback as well as a forward-looking analysis of the FHLBank system.
At the first of three planned listening sessions, FHFA heard that for-profit investors increasingly use litigation to pressure nonprofit affordable housing developers to sell LIHTC-funded properties at minimal prices.
The Fannie/Freddie regulator indicated it will review the impact of the ERCF on the UMBS market, but for now won’t delay implementation of the new fee.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s auditor concluded that the agency complied with an executive order making climate-related risk a priority for financial regulators.
Almost exactly a year after taking the helm as acting director, Thompson begins a five-year term as head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. She is the first woman to hold the job.
