Mark Willis Discusses Role of Federal Financing in Rental Housing

September 27, 2012: Furman Center Research Fellow Mark Willis participated in a roundtable on housing finance for the Housing Commission of the Bipartisan Policy Center. The discussion, “Positioning the Federal Role in the Future U.S. Multifamily Housing Finance System,” considered the role of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration in supporting the financing of multifamily rental units. A key topic was the degree to which these sources of financing affect the availability of affordable rental housing. More on Bipartisan Policy Center Housing Commission here.
