Fannie Mae is here to help its Single-Family partners and their customers

Fannie Mae has reliable tools and resources to guide you through the financial challenges borrowers may experience. We are here to help you offer immediate and long-term relief to struggling homeowners and renters.

Servicers

We help mortgage servicers manage and meet regulatory and legal obligations as well as ensure that safeguards are set in place for homeowners amid unforeseen financial challenges. Fannie Mae’s mortgage forbearance is available for homeowners experiencing financial hardships. A forbearance plan can either reduce or suspend payments for a certain period without late fees. Mortgage repayment options become available once the forbearance period ends.
