FHFA Proposes Amendments to Minority and Women Inclusion Regulations
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and is seeking comments on proposed amendments to its Minority and Women Inclusion regulations.
The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 requires Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Banks (regulated entities) to promote diversity and inclusion (D&I) in all their businesses and activities; the FHFA adopted regulations in 2010 to facilitate the implementation of these D&I requirements.
In a recent release, the FHFA articulated that the newly proposed amendments “further clarify the scope of the regulated entities’ obligation to promote diversity and inclusion.”
