Office of Minority and Women Inclusion Annual Report to Congress - 2015

Published: 3/31/2016

​FHFA established an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) in accordance with Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act).  FHFA’s OMWI is responsible for leading the Agency’s efforts to advance diversity and inclusion and developing standards for:

  • Equal employment opportunity (EEO) and the racial, ethnic, and gender diversity of the Agency’s workforce and senior management;
  • Increased participation of minority- and women-owned businesses (MWOBs) in Agency programs and contracts; and
  • Assessing the diversity policies and practices of the regulated entities.

Section 1116(f) of HERA also requires the Agency to seek diversity in its workforce, at all levels, consistent with the demographic diversity of the United States. This report highlights the programs, initiatives, and practices the Agency implemented during 2015 to:

  • Advance diversity and ensure inclusion within its workforce;
  • Provide opportunities for the inclusion and utilization of MWOBs in all of the Agency’s business activities; and
  • Supervise the regulated entities’ efforts to promote diversity and ensure inclusion in their respective organizations.
