ICBA and other groups responded to the Federal Housing Administration’s request for input on the Single-Family Minimum Property Requirements to implement the President’s March 2026 Executive Order, “Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit.”

ICBA and the other groups reaffirmed their previous recommendation that FHA align with the standards established by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which would streamline the FHA financing process, making it more efficient and less expensive for lenders to produce, and consumers to obtain, an FHA loan.
