The Center for Responsible Lending, Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund, and the National Community Stabilization Trust support FHFA’s proposed affordable housing goals for the GSEs and would support a higher subgoal for the GSEs buying mortgages for homes in minority tracts where borrower income was
not above 100 percent of AMI. Encouraging the GSEs to provide more families with access to
homeownership, and particularly those of color to close the related racial homeownership and
wealth gaps, through aggressive yet achievable goals is the right thing to do.
