Making Homeownership Affordable: Bringing Fannie and Freddie Back to Mission

Join us as we discuss affordable housing and how two leading government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who help sustain the national housing market, can better support affordable homeownership. While their mission is to support affordable housing, a new video (https://youtu.be/j_e1Ki6q7_c) by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy suggests a straying from mission and need for Fannie and Freddie to step up with new products and services. Shelterforce’s Steve Dubb facilitates a conversation with George “Mac” McCarthy, President and CEO of the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy; Sara Morgan, President of Fahe, a large regional community development financial institution loan fund based in Appalachia; and Tony Pickett, CEO of Grounded Solutions Network, a national network of over 300 community land trust and shared equity housing providers.
