September 8, 2025

Ten professionals from across New Hampshire have been named the 2026 New Hampshire Housing Homeownership Fellows. The program offers participants the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the residential mortgage finance system while engaging in conversations about housing policy, economic development, and the challenges facing state and local communities.

As part of the program, Fellows will travel to Washington, D.C. to meet with New Hampshire’s Congressional delegation and national housing organizations, including the National Council of State Housing Agencies, the Mortgage Bankers Association, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, and the National Association of Realtors.
