Housing Finance
The $33 trillion housing market relies on well-regulated sources of private capital and public funding to ensure stability and liquidity for borrowers, lenders, and investors.
Overview
Our nation’s housing-finance system is comprised of lenders, originators, aggregators, servicers, rating agencies, diligence providers, trustees, bond investors and whole-loan purchasers.
SFA works to promote a dynamic market with well-defined guardrails for market participants and protects taxpayers from future losses.
