Each new Administration has brought its own policies, priorities, and personnel to FHFA, which in turn leads to shifts in focus for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Trump Administration is no different and has also brought unprecedented attention to the task of removing the GSEs from conservatorship. Join MBA President and CEO Bob Broeksmit and Former Fannie Mae CEO Hugh Frater for a fireside chat about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, their multifamily lending programs, and what the future holds.
