The Housing Finance Committee examines a broad range of issues relating to government-sponsored and private sector single- and multifamily loan programs in addition to issues relating to the nation’s financial institutions and capital markets. It monitors all federal and state legislation and regulatory action affecting mortgage, acquisition, development or construction financing.

The committee also conducts studies on problems and economic trends affecting or likely to affect the cost and availability of financing for residential, remodeling and light commercial construction and permanent mortgages, and reports recommendations, if any, for improvement of the availability of financing for affordable housing.
