COMPANY OVERVIEW

Freddie Mac’s mission is to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the U.S. housing and mortgage markets. That mission –– defined in our congressional charter –– forms the framework of our business lines, shapes the products we bring to market and drives the services we provide to the nation’s housing and mortgage finance industry.

Liquidity: Freddie Mac serves the secondary mortgage market by providing a stable supply of money for lenders, which lowers rates for millions of consumers.

Stability: Freddie Mac plays a vital role by moderating cyclical swings in the housing sector, equalizing the flow of mortgage funds regionally throughout the United States and making mortgage funds available in a variety of economic conditions.

Affordability: Freddie Mac provides financing options that increase opportunities for affordable homeownership and affordable rental housing for families across the nation.
