Fannie Mae’s Annual Effort Mobilizes Community to Help Prevent and End Homelessness

Fannie Mae announced the results of its 22nd annual Help the Homeless Program, the nation’s largest fund-raising effort focused on homelessness. In 2009, the D.C. metropolitan area came together to raise $5.8 million for 134 regional non-profit organizations serving people who are either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.  More than 117,000 people raised funds through the Help the Homeless Walkathon on the National Mall, 657 community Mini-Walks, corporate sponsorships, and related activities.

“We are proud of the effort our employees, partners and neighbors have undertaken in addressing homelessness in our own backyard,” said Michael J. Williams, President and CEO of Fannie Mae.  “The greater Washington community has a reputation for coming together in times of need and, once again, they truly rose to the occasion.”

In 2009, funds raised through the Help the Homeless Program enabled community organizations to serve the homeless and people at risk of becoming homeless by providing emergency care and shelter or creating permanent supportive housing.  In 2009, the Help the Homeless Program supported the creation or preservation of more than 2,500 supportive housing units.
