Empowering Consumers
Recognizing that consumers often seek information and assistance on credit and homeownership from community-based organizations and/or from housing professionals like you, Freddie Mac developed CreditSmart as a tool to support your efforts in this area. CreditSmart is comprehensive enough to be used on its own or to enhance your organization's existing financial or homeownership education program. By working together to educate consumers, we can equip even more families for a future of financial success.
