Freddie Mac joined with Mayor Anthony A. Williams and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), CVS Pharmacy, Bank of America and Mount Lebanon Baptist Church to announce a Workforce Home Benefit initiative . The initiative is the first Freddie Mac Workforce Home Benefit effort to be launched with a national retailer — CVS Pharmacy — and is also the first in Washington, D.C.
The effort, called Prescriptions for Homeownership, will offer a variety of home buying resources to CVS's 1,000 employees in D.C., including special loan products with flexible features, down payment and closing cost assistance and financial literacy/homebuyer education. Employees must be employed at CVS for two years in good standing before they can take advantage of the program benefits; however, pharmacists and management-level employees are eligible upon hire. Participation will also require three years of continued employment. To prepare more CVS employees for the challenges of homeownership, Mount Lebanon Baptist Church will conduct financial literacy and homebuyer education workshops at local CVS training centers, using Freddie Mac's CreditSmart curriculum.
