National Organizations Call for Oversight Hearings FHFA Director, As Part of Addressing Our Nation’s Housing Crisis

Director William J. Pulte was sworn in to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) on March 14, 2025. CFA and other national organizations sent a letter to the US House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees to call attention to the ways his actions over the last year have undermined this agency's independence and effectiveness, and have made our nation's housing affordability crisis worse. The committees have shown serious commitment to addressing this housing crisis, notably through bipartisan support for a major housing bill. The letter asks that Congress hold Director Pulte accountable to the same high standard. Specifically, the undersigned organizations urge the Committees to call oversight hearings in which they call on Director Pulte to account for actions that have undermined the functionality of FHFA and worsened housing unaffordability and fair access while placing the housing finance system at risk. This letter also includes an Appendix, which details all the Director's actions since March 2025.
