A Strategic Plan for Enterprise Conservatorships
Since establishing conservatorships for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) in 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and the Enterprises have focused on three key goals:
- mitigating Enterprise losses, which ultimately accrue to taxpayers;
- ensuring families have access to mortgages to buy a home or refinance an existing mortgage; and
- offering borrowers in trouble on their mortgage an opportunity to modify their loan or otherwise avoid foreclosure.
