Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to play a significant role in supporting multifamily housing needs, particularly for low-income households. FHFA's goal is to maintain Enterprise support of the multifamily affordable housing market without crowding out private capital. FHFA's focus includes multifamily lending for affordable units across several sectors, including traditional affordable housing such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties, seniors housing, rural markets, and manufactured housing communities.
FHFA will require the Enterprises to continue using credit risk transfers for their multifamily business, resulting in the private market sharing in potential credit losses. The Enterprises use two models of credit risk transfers: Fannie Mae uses loss-sharing transactions through a delegated underwriting system, which has produced low losses since it was first offered in 1988; and Freddie Mac has a capital markets execution to transfer the bulk of its credit risk. Both approaches align interests between the Enterprises and lenders to manage complex credit decisions and limit losses. The positive results of these models were confirmed by the Enterprises' multifamily portfolio performance through the 2008 financial crisis and by the broad liquidity available to most segments of the market.
