GSEs Extend Multifamily Forbearance Programs.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have extended their COVID-19 mortgage forbearance programs for multifamily landlords through March 31, 2021, providing more flexibility for struggling property owners as well as protections for renters at a time of continuing stress for the industry.
The programs were due to expire Thursday, December 31, before the extensions announced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) last week. The move gives multifamily operators more time to request new or supplemental forbearance agreements if they are facing pandemic-related financial hardship.
