Resident-owned communities
Serve Underserved Markets Plan for the Manufactured Housing Market, specifically Manufactured housing communities owned by a governmental entity, non-profit organization, or residents.
Manufactured home community owners can increase space rents on a whim
and it is costly and difficult to move the manufactured home.
Some communities restrict owners from moving the manufactured home.
This program allows the unit owners to buy the land of a community,
govern the HOA as they see responsible, and allows more
stable homeownership.
Expanded Housing Choice
This pilot aims to remove barriers to housing by
incentivizing borrowers to accept housing choice vouchers.
The pilot will initially focus on two states that
do not have source of income protections –
Texas and North Carolina.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
Assessing whether the expansion of financing options for
Single-Family homes with ADUs increases affordable
supply of housing options.
Fannie Mae’s new product is allowing the valuation of
ADU’s to be included in appraisal value as permanent.
In the past if the ADU was not permitted or
allowed as a granny-flats by the county the
value of the square footage and the rents were
not part of the loan approval.
This opens the way for more ADU’s along
with Nationwide trends to ignore setbacks and some permit hurdles.
Will the GSE’s regulate Title costs by excluding the
need for title insurance on certain low loan to value loans
and no cash out refinances?
Who will bear the cost of fraud, cloud, and liens?
Probably the servicers, our government, and future borrowers.
What are the reasons behind these new products?
1. Level the playing field for Black and Hispanic borrowers
who were not treated evenly in appraisal, income verification,
etc. Digitizing tools remove human bias.
2. Climate Extremes- flood, fire, storms causing more
FEMA disasters and the need to rebuild.
3. Covid changed where people work. Remote work is here to stay.
4. Covid stresses on homeowners who go forbearance
and now are in trouble repaying.
5. Need for more affordable housing
6. Methods to reduce costs in homeownership
7. The GSE’s are not for profit and duty to help Americans
