FHFA Directs GSEs to Explore Alignment on Reps, Warrants ... lol

Wed Jan 31, 2024 - dhollier@imfpubs.com



The Federal Housing Finance Agency’s 2024 scorecard for the government-sponsored enterprises
included a new provision for representations and warranties.

“Explore opportunities to harmonize the enterprises’ processes supporting the single-family selling representations
and warranties framework, including defect identification, remedies and repurchase alternatives,” the scorecard states.

FHFA also added some multifamily goals to the scorecard, which was released Tuesday.

FHFA ordered the GSEs to strengthen their multifamily asset management capabilities. That included a specific
mention of legal risk. FHFA also introduced an item encouraging the GSEs to innovate more to address needs
in the multifamily space.
