Help Your Home Buyers
Understand Their Credit with CreditSmartSM

A Curriculum to Help Consumers
Understand, Build and Maintain Better Credit

Are you credit smart? Do you know all the ways your credit impacts your life? Are you protecting your good credit, or are you working on building better credit? Strong credit can help you expand personal financial opportunities and achieve your dreams, including homeownership.

Freddie Mac has developed CreditSmart, a credit education curriculum. This program can help you help your buyers obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to manage their finances and positively impact their credit.

CreditSmart is being distributed through organizations committed to helping underserved communities, including the National Urban League and the Rainbow/PUSH "1000 Churches Connected" initiative. Additionally five Historically Black Colleges and Universities have incorporated CreditSmart into existing or new academic programs, and are making it available in their own communities through workshops, seminars and credit education campaigns.
