Our job is to help those who house America. Fannie Mae was created in 1938, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, at a time when millions of families could not become homeowners, or risked losing their homes, for lack of a consistent supply of mortgage funds across America. The government established Fannie Mae in order to expand the flow of mortgage funds in all communities, at all times, under all economic conditions, and to help lower the costs to buy a home.Model CompanyBe a model company focused on service, reliability, and value._c6f81388-480c-4bdd-ba68-62bb7eeee5052Fannie Mae has a unique duty to the public it serves -- and the private investors that fuel its service -- to be a model company focused on service, reliability, and value.

We believe in the long term health of America's housing market. The nation is growing and that growth will bring a renewed demand for housing and for responsible, sustainable mortgage lending. Fannie Mae will be there to help meet America's changing housing needs.2008-09-102010-02-08http://www.fanniemae.com/aboutfm/index.jhtmlArthurColman (www.drybridge.com)colman@drybridge.com
