Helping Those Without Homes On any given day in the U.S., more than 1 million people do not have a place to call home. At Fannie Mae, we have a long-standing commitment to combating homelessness. Since 1988, our Help the Homeless Program has provided a fundraising model that benefits organizations who serve the homeless or those at risk of becoming homeless. The program has raised and distributed more than $100 million to Help the Homeless nonprofit beneficiaries. Each year, thousands of people get involved by participating in a community event, making a donation, or volunteering their time. In 2013, we continued to drive participation in and around the cities where we live and work – Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. By coordinating Help the Homeless as a far-reaching, community-focused initiative through various local events, we are able to raise critical funding and awareness of homelessness within our own neighborhoods. While Fannie Mae concluded its grant-making role at the end of 2013, our employees continue their dedication to the issue of homelessness through fundraising, volunteerism, and awareness-building activities.
