Authority for Government Sponsored Enterprises to Invest Equity to Preserve Post LIHTC or Other Affordable Rental Housing

Resolves that NAHB encourage federal policymakers to authorize Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks to make equity investments in rental properties that preserve affordability for low-income families and provide traditional economic returns in the form of cash distributions and capital appreciation. Such equity investments should be consistent with the requirements for the GSEs to operate according to safety and soundness requirements.
