Fannie Mae

Fannie Mae, officially the Federal National Mortgage Association, is a government-sponsored enterprise founded in 1938 to expand the U.S. housing market. It operates by purchasing mortgages from lenders, securitizing them, and selling mortgage-backed securities to investors. This process provides liquidity and stability to the mortgage market, enabling lenders to offer more home loans. Fannie Mae plays a key role in shaping housing finance policy and supporting affordable housing initiatives.
