The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has announced that Fred C. Graham will become Deputy Director of the Division of Federal Home Loan Bank Regulation.  Graham has served in several previous positions at FHFA, most recently as Acting Deputy Director of the Division of Supervision Policy and Support and as Senior Associate Director of the Office of Risk Analysis.

In announcing the appointment Acting FHFA Director Edward J.
