WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) strongly supports the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) proposed rule strengthening and codifying the equitable housing finance plans submitted by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the agency's other measures addressing racial disparities in homeownership. These plans are one of the federal government's most effective methods of increasing homeownership for families of color and expanding their opportunities for affordable rental housing. Under the proposed rule, Fannie's and Freddie's fair lending and fair housing functions and equitable housing finance plans become statutory requirements. Further, their operations will receive clearer and more appropriate oversight, compliance, and enforcement.

Key Points:

Under the proposed rule, Fannie's and Freddie's fair lending and fair housing functions and equitable housing finance plans become statutory requirements.
These measures are necessary to address decades of racially biased public policies and private practices aimed at preventing Blacks from becoming homeowners.
In 2019, the median wealth for White households was $188,200, compared to $24,100 for Black and $36,100 for Hispanic households.
