STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1.0 BACKGROUND:

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) was created by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) to regulate and supervise Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (jointly, the “regulated entities”). HERA combined three organizations, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, the Federal Housing Finance Board, and a group from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which collectively had previously regulated these regulated entities. These institutions play critical roles in supporting our nation’s housing finance system. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guarantee mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and hold mortgages and MBS’ for investment. The Federal Home Loan Banks lend money to banks and other financial institutions using mortgages as collateral and invest in mortgage-related assets. In 2008, FHFA placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in conservatorships, where they remain.

FHFA is a dispersed work environment. A single office is maintained in Washington DC. Employees work at either the Washington D.C. office or from their homes located within the confines of the United States of America. Employees assigned to the Washington D.C. Office work an alternate schedule whereas 1/3 of the workforce may be in the building at any given time of the workday. There are eight (8) floors occupied by FHFA making the total count of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to be serviced ten (10).
