\n BETHESDA, Md.<\/span>, Nov. 17, 2020<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Walker & Dunlop, Inc.<\/a>,\u00a0one of the largest providers of capital to the multifamily industry and the largest Fannie Mae DUS lender in 2019, today commented on the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) recent announcement of the 2021 multifamily lending caps<\/a>\u00a0for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.\u00a0The FHFA announcement allows the GSEs to lend up to $70 billion<\/span> each in 2021, for a total opportunity of $140 billion<\/span>, with at least 50% of lending to be designated as affordable.<\/p>\n

“At a time when millions of Americans are protecting themselves from the pandemic in the shelter of their homes, it is encouraging to see the FHFA establish 2021 multifamily lending caps of $140 billion<\/span> for the GSEs,” stated Walker & Dunlop Chairman and CEO Willy Walker<\/span>.\u00a0“As landlords across the country work diligently to keep renters with financial hardship in their homes, we are pleased to see FHFA establish lending levels for the GSEs that will continue to ensure adequate liquidity throughout the coming year.” <\/p>\n

Mr. Walker continued, “Of note in the 2021 lending cap announcement from the FHFA was raising the percentage of affordable lending that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must do from 37.5% to 50%. Walker & Dunlop is keenly focused on the affordable housing space, having lent over $17 billion<\/span> over the past three years with the GSEs on affordable properties, and we see this increased focus by FHFA as positive for the market and our business.” <\/p>\n
