Fannie Mae helps all types of companies -- including private employers, nonprofit organizations, universities, hospitals, and public employers -- customize and offer an EAH benefit.
Common EAH Benefits
The most common benefits are grants, forgivable loans, deferred or repayable loans, matched savings, interest-rate buydowns, shared appreciation, and home-buyer education (provided by an employer-funded counseling agency).
Typical Uses
Funds are commonly used toward down payments, closing costs, and interest rate buydowns.
An EAH benefit may be available to all employees or limited to specific segments of the employee population, such as non-management staff or first-time home buyers. An EAH may be available for all homes, or homes that meet specific criteria, such as primary residences or homes located in specific neighborhoods. Through our lender-partners, we can assist employers in matching the best EAH structure to support employee and community strategies.
