WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ginnie Mae guaranteed mortgage-backed securities (MBS) financed more than 189,000 homes and apartment units in March 2022 with the month’s issuance volume reaching $51.18 billion.​

The March issuance includes $48.71 billion of Ginnie Mae II MBS and $2.47 billion of Ginnie Mae I MBS, which includes approximately $2.31 billion of loans for multifamily housing.

As of March 31, Ginnie Mae's total outstanding principal balance was $2.186 trillion, up from $2.175 trillion in February 2022 and $2.095 trillion in March 2021.

“March’s issuance volume shows Ginnie Mae MBS program continues to provide strong liquidity to meet the financing needs of homeowners and rental property owners,” said Ginnie Mae President Alanna McCargo. “With rising interest rates, we expect volumes to decline as affordability is challenged. In this current environment, we are steadfast in our mission to remain a consistent source of finance for affordable housing and to find innovative ways to expand access to credit.”
