Easterseals and Freddie Mac Present Financial and Housing Guidance

CreditSmart is a financial capability curriculum aimed at helping consumers learn about the importance of building, maintaining and using credit so they can take the reins on their financial futures.

Over the past two decades, more than five million consumers at various life stages have benefitted from CreditSmart’s financial education, which is available at no cost. Additionally, tens of thousands of housing professionals have become CreditSmart facilitators as a way to give back to their communities. The newly released CreditSmart Essentials® curriculum builds on this tradition by making financial education empowering instead of daunting, with a personalized experience tailored to consumers’ needs, including new content customized for renters.

Easterseals values this long-standing collaboration with Freddie Mac. Together in partnership, we have developed online, accessible financial capability tools and resources that have helped millions of people with disabilities, Veterans, and low-income families throughout the country. CreditSmart has been invaluable to these individuals and families, and we are grateful to Freddie Mac for making this available to them.
