Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 28, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
v Multifamily workforce housing goal. One commenter suggested that FHFA establish a multifamily goal targeting support for multifamily properties rented to households with incomes from 60 to 120 percent of AMI
which is the common definition of incomes for workforce housing. The commenter recommended that FHFA
give the Enterprises goals credit for purchasing mortgage loans on multifamily rental properties with a prescribed number of rental units that are affordable to moderate-income families with incomes between 60 and 120 percent of AMI. However, this proposal is outside the scope of this rulemaking. Therefore, the final rule does not change the structure of the multifamily housing goals to expand beyond the statutory requirements for establishing multifamily goals, which limit housing goals credit to households at or below 80 percent of AMI. FHFA
acknowledges the importance of this market segment and may take workforce housing into consideration in future rulemakings.

vi Qualitative considerations. Fannie Mae and another commenter proposed incorporating qualitative goals in FHFAs final determinations for Enterprise annual performance. The commenters argued that analyzing the Enterprises qualitative efforts in addition to their quantitative performance metrics will bolster FHFAs determination of appropriate remedies for Enterprise noncompliance with housing goals. The commenters recommended that FHFA give the Enterprises credit for participation in stakeholder efforts to promote affordable and sustainable housing. The commenters also suggested that FHFA
explore opportunities for developing qualitative goals in conjunction with the Enterprises development and implementation of their Equitable Housing Finance Plans and their efforts to advance equity in housing finance.
FHFA agrees that the implementation of qualitative measures plays an important role in the Enterprises ability to achieve the quantitative housing goals. In particular, quantitative
measures may not always reflect the impact of market developments outside the control of the Enterprises that may have a significant impact on the ability of the Enterprises to meet the housing goals. However, FHFA continues to believe that the establishment of quantitative benchmark levels provides clearly defined standards for objectively measuring the Enterprises performance.
FHFA notes that the qualitative efforts of the Enterprises in attempting to meet the housing goals are an appropriate consideration when assessing the feasibility of any housing goals that an Enterprise fails to achieve, as well as whether to require an Enterprise to submit a housing plan if the Enterprise fails to achieve a goal that was feasible.
