Single-Family Social Bonds
Freddie Mac provides liquidity and support to the single-family market through a variety of activities that include the purchase, securitization and guarantee of single-family loans originated by lenders. We are focused on addressing housing challenges that U.S. consumers face — especially those that disproportionately burden underserved borrowers and renters. In support of this objective, Freddie Mac’s Single-Family Mission Index provides MBS investors with insights into our mission-oriented lending activities, which allows them to allocate capital in a more targeted way towards these activities and the Mission Index serves as the foundation of our Single-Family Social Bond program.
Freddie Mac is proud to share its Single-Family Social MBS and Corporate Social Debt Bonds Framework and associated Sustainalytics Second Party Opinion as the next step in supporting its mission to provide affordability to the housing market. Since June 2024 Freddie Mac has assigned “Social MBS” labels to Single-Family MBS meeting the social bond criteria described in the Framework.
The 2024 Single-Family Impact Bonds Report shows the impact of all labelled Single-Family Social Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) issued by Freddie Mac in 2024. Freddie Mac also provides a Mission Index Criteria Attribution (MICA) Report and tool to provide investors with insight into the estimated representation of specific populations of Mission borrowers in their portfolios.
Freddie Mac Single-Family Social MBS have not been designed to satisfy the social, affordable, sustainable or other "social" criteria of any third-party framework, other than as described in the Single-Family Social MBS and Corporate Social Debt Bonds Framework and the Sustainalytics Second Party Opinion.
Sustainalytics provides second opinions on institutions' frameworks. The Sustainalytics opinion is not a guarantee that the Social MBS satisfy your "social" investment needs or criteria, is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Social MBS described in the Single-Family Social MBS and Corporate Social Debt Bonds Framework, is only current as of the date of its issuance and is only applicable to the Single-Family Social MBS and Corporate Social Debt Bonds Framework.
