Freddie, Fannie Announce Joint Alignment of Social Data for Social Index Score

On October 18^th, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae jointly announced that they will release pool-level Social Index disclosures for its single-family MBS. In August 2022, Fannie Mae had announced the proposed methodology for single-family social disclosures. That proposed methodology utilizes eight separate fields within three dimensions (income, borrower, property) to provide a Social Criteria Score and a Social Density Score at the pool level. The recent announcement signals that both GSEs will align their at-issuance social disclosures to generate these social scores.
