This is a perfect example of the types of funding or financial assistance you can get, if you know where to look, what questions to ask and how to apply. If you're looking for financial help, and don't know where to look, feel free to post to the blog with your most "burning question" and I'll do my best to find an answer for you!

The Fannie Mae Foundation in Washington, D.C., has announced the 2006 class of Fannie Mae Fellows.

Chosen from a record 110 applicants for their accomplishments in the field of affordable housing, the twenty-five fellows attend an intensive, three-week course at the John F. Kennedy School of Government Senior Executives in State and Local Government program at Harvard University, where they learn enhanced leadership skills, develop new management techniques, cultivate relationships among public-sector colleagues, and attend special sessions coordinated by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, faculty from the Kennedy School of Government, and foundation staff.

"The Fannie Mae Foundation Fellowship Program is a natural extension of our ongoing work with emerging and established leaders on the front lines of housing affordability," said foundation president and CEO Stacey D. Stewart. "Our goal...is to give the fellows an unprecedented opportunity to expand their knowledge and effectiveness so they can better serve their communities as the next generation of leaders in the affordable housing field."
