DCUC requests FHFA expand access and reduce regulatory burdens in FHLBank System

WASHINGTON, DC (November 6, 2025) |

Today, the Defense Credit Union Council, DCUC, wrote to Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte on the agency’s proposed Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2026–2030, requesting a commitment to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens under its goal of supervising the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) System. 

DCUC’s letter stressed the importance of ensuring credit unions have fair and efficient access to FHLBank programs that support affordable housing and community development.

“Credit unions are mission-driven institutions dedicated to helping all communities achieve financial stability and homeownership,” says Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO. “Expanding access to the FHLBank System and reducing regulatory barriers will empower credit unions to better serve military families and strengthen local economies.”

“We appreciate Director Pulte’s dedication to improving housing access for all Americans,” says Jason Stverak, DCUC Chief Advocacy Officer. “Including a focus on reducing unnecessary regulations within FHFA’s strategic goals will further ensure the FHLBank System remains an efficient, inclusive partner for credit unions nationwide.”
