Ginnie Mae

For over 50 years, the Governmental National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) has played a central role in expanding access to affordable homeownership for millions of veterans, rural borrowers, and low- and moderate-income Americans. By channeling global capital into the U.S. housing market, we help ensure mortgage lenders have reliable financing to offer government-insured and guaranteed loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Affairs (VA), United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development (USDA-RD), and Public and Indian Housing (PIH). This support ensures stability and reliability of government lending in all market conditions. As a key participant in the U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market - the second largest global fixed income market after U.S. Treasuries - Ginnie Mae offers the only MBS to carry the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. This government guarantee provides investors the confidence that creates a deeply liquid market for Ginnie Mae MBS while protecting U.S. taxpayers. Ginnie Mae currently guarantees a portfolio with $2.7 trillion in Outstanding Principal Balance, representing more than 14 million single family and multifamily borrowers, and roughly a third of the MBS market. Average daily trading volume is more than $350 billion.
