 Conservatorship History of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Conservatorships Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements Reports
 Home
 ​Conservatorship Conservator Authority On July 30, 2008, President George W. Bush signed Public Law 110-289, the 
   Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), which established FHFA, giving the Agency authority to place regulated entities into conservatorship or receivership. When ​Placed in Conservatorships Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorships upon the consent of each board of directors on September 6, 2008. FHFA and the U.S. Department of the Treasury publicly announced details of the conservatorships on September 7, 2008. Read more on History of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Conservatorships page. Why Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in Conservatorship Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in conservatorship to preserve and conserve their assets and property and restore them to a sound and solvent condition so they can continue to fulfill their statutory missions. FHFA's Role as Conservator As conservator, FHFA has the powers of the management, boards, and shareholders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to operate as business corporations. FHFA is responsible for the overall management of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and has informed the Enterprises which decision-making functions should be performed by the Enterprises' boards of directors and/or management teams. The boards and management teams must consult with FHFA and obtain conservator approval as FHFA directs. Overall, the conservator has ultimate authority over all operations of the Enterprises. Conservatorship Scorecards The annual Conservatorship Scorecard is FHFA's mechanism for communicating its priorities and expectations for the Enterprises and providing transparency to the public about these expectations. The 2022 Scorecard priorities are promoting sustainable and equitable access to affordable housing and operating the Enterprises’ businesses in a safe and sound manner​. ​2024 Scorecard

      Scorecard Progress Reports (2013 – 2018) 
         Scorecard Reporting in “Conservatorships of the Enterprises” chapter in FHFA Annual Report to Congress (2019 – present) ​Required Reporting On October 3, 2008, President George W. Bush signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), providing broad authorities to the Treasury to undertake measures to strengthen financial institutions. EESA included provisions to assist homeowners facing foreclosure and to protect tenants. Section 110 of EESA charges federal property managers (FPMs) to develop and implement plans to maximize assistance for homeowners and encourage servicers of underlying mortgages to take advantage of programs to minimize foreclosures. In addition, each FPM is required to report to Congress every 30 days.  The report must contain specific information on the number and types of loan modifications made and the number of actual foreclosures during the reporting period. FHFA is designated as FPM in its role as conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under Section 110 of EESA. FHFA commenced reporting as FPM with its initial transmission to Congress on December 2, 2008. The format and content of the reports has evolved over time. Prior to May 2012,  FPM Reports included refinancing activity. Thereafter, they had the same content as the monthly and quarterly 
   Foreclosure Prevention Reports, and FHFA began issuing separate 
   Refinance Reports.  In July 2019, FHFA revised these reports again and commenced issuing combined 
   Foreclosure Prevention, Refinance, and Federal Property Manager reports.   Conservatorship Reports and Datasets Read more. ** *Page last updated:  February 6​, 2024*​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
