NHC Urges Policymakers to Strengthen the Nation’s Multifamily Housing Finance System

Washington, DC – October 4, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — The National Housing Conference (NHC) today issued a policy statement underscoring the importance of the nation’s multifamily housing finance system. “As Congress debates the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we urge them to ensure that Americans will continue to have a strong and stable supply of multifamily rental housing,” stated NHC President and CEO Maureen Friar. “Multifamily housing finance must be addressed directly and separately from single family finance,” she added. “That is the only way to ensure that renters have an adequate supply of multifamily properties with affordable rents.”
