The Federal Housing Finance Agency in its Annual Housing Report today said that both Fannie Mae failed to meet two of its four affordable housing goals — those for very-low income buyers purchasing single-family homes and low-income buyers refinancing their mortgages — in 2016. The GSE met its goals for low-income buyers purchasing single-family homes and the goal for home purchases in low-income areas.
Freddie Mac achieved all four of its affordable housing goals, FHFA said. Both GSEs met the goals for multifamily lending.
