Investor Update
December 15, 2016
Washington, D.C. – The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today released the 2017 Scorecard outlining specific conservatorship priorities for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and their joint venture, Common Securitization Solutions, LLC. The 2017 Scorecard furthers the goals outlined in FHFA’s Strategic Plan for the Conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, published in May 2014. These goals include:
- Maintain, in a safe and sound manner, credit availability and foreclosure prevention activities for new and refinanced mortgages to foster liquid, efficient, competitive and resilient national housing finance markets;
- Reduce taxpayer risk through increasing the role of private capital in the mortgage market; and
- Build a new single-family securitization infrastructure for use by the Enterprises and adaptable for use by other participants in the secondary market in the future.
“The 2017 Scorecard will guide Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Common Securitization Solutions as they continue to build on the progress that has been made over the years in meeting the goals set forth in our Conservatorship Strategic Plan,” said FHFA Director Melvin L. Watt. “The goals and initiatives contemplated in the Scorecard strike what we believe is an appropriate balance between ensuring that these entities operate in a safe and sound manner while continuing to ensure that the housing finance market remains liquid and supports housing access for homeowners and renters.”
