SUMMARY:Making Homeownership Affordable: Bringing Fannie and Freddie Back to Mission
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we discuss affordable housing and how two leading government-sponsored enterprises\, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac\, who help sustain the national housing market\, can better support affordable homeownership.

Shelterforce’s Steve Dubb facilitates a conversation with George “Mac” McCarthy\, President and CEO of the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy; Sara Morgan\, President of Fahe\, a large regional community development financial institution loan fund based in Appalachia; and Tony Pickett\, CEO of Grounded Solutions Network\, a national network of over 300 community land trust and shared equity housing providers.
