Our Business and Statutory Mission
Freddie Mac was chartered by Congress in 1970 with a public mission to stabilize
the nation’s residential mortgage markets and expand opportunities for home
ownership and affordable rental housing. Our statutory mission is to provide
liquidity, stability and affordability to the U.S. housing market. Our
participation in the secondary mortgage market includes providing our credit
guarantee for residential mortgages originated by mortgage lenders and investing
in mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities. Through our credit guarantee
activities, we securitize mortgage loans by issuing PCs to third-party
investors. We also resecuritize mortgage-related securities that are issued by
us or Ginnie Mae as well as private, or non-agency, entities by issuing
Structured Securities to third-party investors.
