REMINDER


Effective today, June 28, 2024, Fannie Mae’s HFA Preferred will not be available in the HTH TBA Program or the standard TBA Program. Fannie Mae will only be available on June 28th and after with the standard Bond Program and the HTH Bond Program. The TBA HTH Guideline reflects Fannie Mae as a current option but keep in mind that the previous HTH program is winding down and loans are still be delivered and purchased so the Fannie Mae HFA Preferred may still apply to loans in the previous HTH Program.
