CREFC Participates in Treasury Roundtables on GSE Reform 

September 16, 2025

On September 8, CREFC’s President & CEO Lisa Pendergast, along with leaders from other CRE/Multifamily trade organizations and think tanks, met with senior Treasury officials to discuss GSE reform, strategies around an exit from conservatorship, and potential privatization. 

The session marked a productive exchange of ideas and perspectives from across the real estate lending sector, with Treasury officials largely in listening mode.
  • Treasury will continue to hold similar sessions next week. CREFC’s Pendergast will attend a Roundtable focused on the GSEs’ multifamily business. 
With heightened focus on the future of the GSEs, including President Trump’s comments and social media posts about a potential IPO, CREFC appreciates the opportunity to share its members’ perspectives with the Administration.
