The Housing Trust Fund includes a provision that directs both GSEs to make annual formula based contributions to the Fund. However, the legislation through which the Federal government bailed out both GSEs gave their custodian the authority to suspend such contributions which he did until FY 10. Thus, there is no relationship between the Fund and the GSEs that contributed to the GSE's demise.
