HERA, when enacted in 2008, imposed a mandate called Duty To Serve on FHFA that required both GSEs to fulfill the mission of supporting three key areas in the housing market:
1. Manufactured housing.
2. Affordable housing for low and low-to-middle income borrowers.
3. Rural, under-served housing markets.
Since 2008, NOTHING concrete has happened to meet this objective as specified by HERA. Under Watt's regime which commenced in 2014, FHFA is still doinking around with "rules" hearings and public meetings scheduled for 2017 to consider options and public views. Or, in other words, 8 years later NOTHING has been done by FHFA to fulfill its proscribed mission as dictated by Congress when it passed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act.
Here is just one link from yesterday's news wire on Watt's failure to adhere to the legal parameters established under HERA and as passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush regarding Duty to Serve:

Trump is an experienced businessman who knows how to dispose of employment problems. He will give Watt a package and Watt will accept it and retire comfortably. Then Trump will do what he wants. Release the GSEs and let Treasury handle the clean-up op after confirmation.
This is going to go quickly.
JMHO.
