Reston Interfaith offers the CreditSmart^® class.

Freddie Mac developed CreditSmart^®, a multilingual financial education curriculum and consumer outreach initiative designed to help consumers build and maintain better credit, make sound financial decisions, and understand the steps to sustainable homeownership.

CreditSmart^® increases consumers’ financial understanding by teaching life-long money management skills and showing consumers how to avoid foreclosure and keep their home.

What CreditSmart^® is About

• The 6-week class teaches the basics of credit, explaining what it is, how to use it, and how to rebuild it.
• Transitional Housing Clients take CreditSmart^® and set goals to increase credit, savings, and income while decreasing debt to eventually have a sound financial footprint.
• Dinner and childcare are both provided.
• Books and tuition are free.
• Classes are offered 3-4 times a year.

In addition, Herndon-Reston FISH and Reston Interfaith both offer free classes and one time workshop classes.
