Ted Tozer, president of Ginnie Mae, said for the second month in a row, the firm’s issuance almost reached $40 billion, indicating that the housing market is still struggling.
“These are challenges that Ginnie Mae is well-equipped to handle in order to stabilize the secondary market and continue the flow of capital into the housing market,” he said.
Through MBS, Ginnie Mae finances housing mortgage programs run by the Federal Housing Administration, the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Department of Agriculture Rural Development Housing and Community Facilities Program.
