The FHFA has this backwards. First the GSEs must build up capital to protect the taxpayer in the event of a downturn in housing, then and only then should they be required to fund low income housing funds.
Secondly a mandated allocation of the GSEs assets into a housing trust fund is in direct violation of the FHFAs lawful duties to conserve and preserve the assets and property of the GSEs.
