​Washington, D.C. – The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today released the 2015 Scorecard​ outlining specific priorities for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and their joint venture, Common Securitization Solutions, LLC.  The 2015 Scorecard furthers the goals outlined in FHFA's Strategic Plan for the Conservatorships of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, updated 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.

​"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made significant progress toward achieving the goals in FHFA's Strategic Plan for the Conservatorships last year and we loo​​k forward to building on that progress in 2015," said FHFA Director Melvin Watt.  "These objectives will allow FHFA to work with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Common Securitization Solutions to build a strong, vibrant national housing finance market, which will create new homeownership and rental opportunities for existing and potential borrowers."
