Fair Lending Shake-Ups: CFPB Vacates Townstone Settlement, FHFA Ends GSEs' Special Purpose Credit Programs


Listen Later

In this episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast, Chris Willis is joined by Troutman Pepper Locke colleagues Lori Sommerfield and Lane Page to dissect two unexpected fair lending developments under the new Trump administration. First, we unpack the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) surprising move to vacate its own redlining consent order with Townstone Financial, Inc. We then analyze the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) dramatic policy shift requiring two government sponsored enterprises (GSEs, namely Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) to terminate special purpose credit programs (SPCPs), as well as the broader implications for mortgage lenders. Join us for the twists and turns of this evolving fair lending regulatory landscape and learn what steps institutions should consider taking to mitigate risks.
