Fannie Mae Participates in Subsidized Affordable Housing
While focusing on workforce rental housing, Fannie Mae is also active in the subsidized affordable market. The layering of
subsidies necessary to make rents affordable to the lowest income households makes this a difficult segment of the market to
serve through debt financing.
