    When natural disasters and other difficult circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic impact our nation’s homeowners and renters, Fannie Mae’s Disaster Response Network™ is here to help. This clear, reassuring video was created to direct people struggling to pay their mortgage or rent — or in need of other assistance — to the support our Disaster Response Network can provide. Homeowners learn they may be eligible for no-cost help from HUD-approved housing counselors — in many languages. Services may include a personalized recovery plan, assistance filing claims, and help working with a mortgage servicer or landlord. Renters can access resources for housing or financial-related assistance. Ongoing check-ins for up to 18 months help people navigate toward a successful recovery and get back on track after a disaster. The video, available in English and Spanish, drives viewers to both our Know Your Options website and a phone call-in center for those with limited internet access. To date, the video has had nearly 2,600 views. Overall, during 2021, more than 29,000 people connected with free counseling sessions through our Disaster Response Network.
