You're welcome! If you are a numbers person I found H.4.1 weekly data release to be very useful [1]. It is reasonably accessible to non-expert like me so I dig into it once in a while. The line item of interest here is "Mortgage-backed securities". As you can see from Jan 6th release; Fed funded B576$ worth of mortgages in 2021 alone. I read remember reading somewhere that Fed now holds 1/3rd of all the mortgages. Can't dig up the source now.
