The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac will pay at least $9 billion in additional fees
over 10 years under the Senate's Federal Housing Finance Regulatory
Reform Act of 2008. If the bill is enacted, the additional fees
would be used for a Federal Housing Administration
mortgage-insurance program until 2011, and then to fund state
housing and community development projects.
The CBO, which released the figures as part of a cost estimate
report requested by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing , and
Urban Affairs, projects that the program will cost Fannie and
Freddie approximately $710 million combined for 2009.
