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.

Fannie Mae's Green and Social Bond Frameworks align to global standards1 and are validated by second party opinions. Explore our webpages to learn more about opportunities for green and social investing.
