Letter: FHFA Repeal of the Fair Lending, Fair Housing, and Equitable Housing Finance Plans
On September 25, 2025, USMI and its member companies provided feedback on the U.S. Federal Housing’s (FHFA) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) repealing its “Fair Lending, Fair Housing, and Equitable Housing Finance Plans” regulation. USMI strongly supports FHFA’s work to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens and believes FHFA’s proposal to repeal this regulation aligns with this work. USMI’s members are key partners to the GSEs, and we look forward to continued collaboration in helping low down payment borrowers affordably and sustainably achieve homeownership sooner in the conventional market.
