James A. Johnson Community Fellows Program
Fannie Mae Foundation

The Fannie Mae Foundation is pleased to announce that nominations are now being sought for the 5th annual James A. Johnson Community Fellows program. The Fellowship program recognizes and rewards leading community-based urban and rural affordable housing and community development professionals and gives them the opportunity to pursue personal and professional development goals that will encourage them to contribute further to the housing and community development field.

Each year, the Fannie Mae Foundation selects six distinguished professionals as James A. Johnson Fellows. The Fannie Mae Foundation will award six fellows a $70,000 grant, plus a $20,000 educational travel/study stipend, to pursue a self-designed, professional-development track to enhance the individual’s skills and field experiences and to explore new solutions to current affordable housing and community development challenges.
