FHFA reported that the enterprises made $333 million in affordable housing allocation payments in 2025, with 65% transferred to the Housing Trust Fund; the fund allocates money annually to states to produce or preserve affordable housing.

The National Housing Trust Fund remained on an active annual funding stream for affordable rental housing production and preservation.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Congress continued FY2026 funding for the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant at $22.3 million, matching the funding Schatz had sought to preserve, and the National Housing Trust Fund remained on its recurring annual funding stream for affordable housing production and preservation. Because the programs were funded while Schatz is still in office, this is a same-term delivery rather than a later-term completion.
