Owning a home is a dream for many, but housing ownership in the U.S. has gaps for traditionally underserved communities. The Freddie Mac BorrowSmart AccessSM Program is a Special Purpose Credit Program to address the homeownership gap. Freddie Mac provides $1,500, and Assurance Financial provides $1,500 that the borrower can use toward a down payment and/or closing costs.

Who Qualifies for This Program?

The program is for first-time homebuyers with qualifying income less than or equal to 140% of the area median income who are seeking a Freddie Mac HomeOne® or Standard Convention mortgage. The homebuyer must complete a Freddie Mac homebuyer counseling course.

Eligible Property Types

The property must be a one- or two-unit primary residence and owner-occupied. This criteria can include:

  • Manufactured homes
  • Condos
  • Planned unit developments

A second home or vacation home is not eligible for this program.

Benefits of the Freddie Mac BorrowSmart Access Program

The program addresses the homeownership gaps by providing financial assistance to traditionally underserved communities. As a result, housing opportunities become more accessible to all communities.

Freddie Mac BorrowSmart Access offers several advantages for the borrower. For the borrower, this program:
