About Us

We help create opportunities for people to buy, refinance, or rent a home.

Since 1938, Fannie Mae has been an innovative force in the mortgage industry. Our mission is to provide a stable source of liquidity for mortgage lending, supporting greater access to affordable home and rental housing finance in all markets, at all times. We help facilitate the flow of capital into the U.S. housing market by issuing and guaranteeing mortgage-related securities. Our work helps make the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage — a mainstay of the U.S. mortgage market — possible.
