On January 21, 2011, FHFA established its Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) consistent with Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act). OMWI is responsible for leading the Agency’s efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

FHFA's OMWI Annual Report to Congress describes how the Agency increases diversity and ensures inclusion throughout the FHFA workforce and in our business activities, including procurement by continuing existing programs that have been effective, as well as developing and implementing new strategies and initiatives to support a diverse workforce and maintain an inclusive organizational culture. The Report also summarizes FHFA's oversight of the diversity and inclusion activities of its regulated entities – this includes Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Office of Finance, as required under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
