WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ginnie Mae reported today its December 2021 issuance volume, maintaining the strong liquidity of the program and its value in meeting the financing needs of homeowners and rental property owners. Approximately 242,793 homes and apartment units were financed by Ginnie Mae guaranteed MBS in December. Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issuance volume for December 2021 was $66.84 billion.

“The Ginnie Mae MBS program ends the calendar year with strong monthly issuance and continues to attract domestic and international investors and support the mortgage industry in meeting the diverse needs of America’s housing market,” said Ginnie Mae President Alanna McCargo. “I am proud to see continued strength in housing finance programs that support veterans, seniors, first-time homebuyers, renters, and low-income households in urban, rural and tribal communities.”

A breakdown of December 2021 issuance of $66.84 billion includes $62.31 billion of Ginnie Mae II MBS and $4.53 billion of Ginnie Mae I MBS, which in turn includes approximately $4.3 billion of loans for multifamily housing.
