Shortly after, newly sworn-in Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte terminated the special purpose credit programs at Fannie and Freddie, and put on leave staffers in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Fairness and the Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (among others), "people who were responsible for fairness in the mortgage market," says Kareem Saleh, FairPlay AI's CEO and co-founder. Pulte also dissolved the Division of Public Interest Examination, which oversaw affordable housing, consumer protection, and diversity initiatives.
