GSE Reform

Housing industry responds to Trump’s calls for housing finance reform 

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum calling for an end of the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The memorandum details programs and objectives that the government agencies are asked to analyze for reform, but it doesn’t provide many other specifics. Absent concrete details for change, most groups in the housing space applauded the president’s move as an necessary step toward instigating much-needed change.
