Fannie Mae was founded by federal charter in the’30’s during the Great Depression. Its cause was to expand the credit availability for low income Americans by purchasing mortgages. This was done to ensure that there would be stable supply of money for the companies responsible for giving home loans to borrowers.

In late 2008 the collapse in the domestic housing market forced the Federal Housing Finance Agency to put Fannie Mae into conservatorship. Once again the institution was returned to the control of the the federal government.
