                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

PART 81_THE SECRETARY OF HUD'S REGULATION OF THE FEDERAL NATIONAL 

MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (FANNIE MAE) AND THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE 

CORPORATION (FREDDIE MAC)--Table of Contents

 

                         Subpart C_Fair Housing

 

Sec.  81.41  General.





    In this subpart, the Secretary: prohibits discrimination by the GSEs 

in their mortgage purchases because of race, color, religion, sex, 

handicap, familial status, age, or national origin, including any 

consideration of the age or location of a dwelling or age of the 

neighborhood or census tract where the dwelling is located in a manner 

that has a discriminatory effect; requires that the GSEs submit 

information to the Secretary to assist Fair Housing Act and ECOA 

investigations; provides for advising the GSEs of Fair Housing Act and 

ECOA violations; provides for reviewing the GSEs' underwriting and 

appraisal guidelines to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act; and 

requires that the GSEs take actions as directed by the Secretary 

following Fair Housing Act and ECOA adjudications. Because FHEFSSA 

provides, generally, that the Director of OFHEO shall enforce violations 

by the GSEs of FHEFSSA and regulations in this subpart, this subpart 

also provides for referral of such cases to the Director.
