We urge FHFA to take bold action to implement mandatory, standardized protections – paired with
strong enforcement – for all households living in properties with federally backed mortgages, including
larger developments and smaller properties. FHFA must continue to engage tenants and directly
impacted people throughout its process of establishing and implementing renter protections, and
protections must be centered on racial and social equity as explicit goals. These protections– along with
to large-scale, sustained investments and anti-racist reforms – are necessary to ensure that everyone,
including the lowest-income and most marginalized renters, have a safe, quality, affordable, and
accessible place to call home.
