Sustainable Bonds - Green Bonds and Social Bonds
We help create opportunities for people to buy, refinance, or rent a home in the U.S. single-family and multifamily residential mortgage markets. By issuing and guaranteeing mortgage-related securities, we:
- Help facilitate the flow of capital into the U.S. housing market;
- Provide a stable source of liquidity for mortgage lending; and,
- Enable greater access to affordable home and rental housing finance in all markets and at all times.
