The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced today that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s caps for multifamily lending will shrink to $35 billion each for 2018.

Multifamily loans in designated affordable and underserved segments will remain excluded from the caps, and FHFA will review the caps on a quarterly basis.
