Fannie Mae Multifamily Closes 2023 With More than $52 Billion in Volume

WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTCQB) provided more than $52 billion in financing to support the multifamily market in 2023, the company announced today. Fannie Mae has expanded access to affordable housing for those who need it most through its Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS®) platform, in addition to committing approximately $4 billion in net equity to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit investments since re-entering the space in 2018.

“We are extremely proud of what we and our DUS lenders accomplished in 2023, and we continue to see our work have a positive impact in communities across the country,” said Michele Evans, Executive Vice President and Head of Multifamily, Fannie Mae. “The strength of the DUS program, now in its 36th year, enabled us to support the multifamily industry and provide vital liquidity to essential housing sectors.”

Fannie Mae provided significant liquidity across key housing segments in 2023, including $8.5 billion in Structured Transactions, $7.5 billion in Green Financing, and $6.6 billion in Multifamily Affordable Housing. The company also saw a 29% year-over-year gain in its Manufactured Housing Communities loan production, up from $2.7 billion in 2022 to $3.5 billion in 2023.

“We want to thank our DUS lenders for their tremendous support and adaptability in a year marked by a challenging market and fluctuating conditions,” said Rob Levin, Senior Vice President and Multifamily Chief Customer Officer, Fannie Mae. “Our partnership ensured we and our lenders could stay nimble and be consistent in an ever-changing market. These collaborations also have been pivotal in driving strong borrower adoption of our focused initiatives, including Sponsor-Initiated Affordability, Sponsor-Dedicated Workforce, and the Positive Rent Payment pilot.
