Freddie Mac Home Affordable Modification Program

  • On March 4, 2009, Freddie Mac announced details about the Home Affordable Modification Program, a loan modification program that supports the federal Making Home Affordable program. This new loan modification program, which is effective immediately and replaces the Streamlined Modification Program, offers a strong foreclosure prevention solution by expanding eligibility to borrowers who are delinquent as well as borrowers who are current, but facing imminent danger of default.
  • Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide Bulletin provides detailed requirements for servicers to implement, underwrite, and service eligible Freddie Mac-owned mortgages under the new Home Affordable Modification program.
  • Guide Bulletin 2009-13 (Update, May 26, 2009)
