Summary

Multiple media reports say Fannie Mae carried out another round of job cuts last week that impacted about a dozen employees, including some in leadership positions. The Wall Street Journal reported the staffing changes and noted a social-media post by FHFA Director Bill Pulte suggesting technology-driven reductions in processes and personnel. The article places these cuts in the context of prior workforce shakeups under Pulte, including more than 100 firings in March 2025 and over 60 roles cut last fall. Fannie Mae and the FHFA were contacted for comment, and the article frames the latest layoffs as part of broader ongoing staffing changes at the government-sponsored enterprises.

Fannie Mae cut 12 jobs in WA affecting its multifamily loans; low-income housing tax credit investments; finance; regulatory; communications team.

That is roughly 0.2% of the 7,000 people Fannie Mae employs.
