The Single Security is a joint initiative of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the Enterprises), under the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), to develop a single mortgage-backed security that will be issued by the Enterprises to finance fixed-rate mortgage loans backed by one- to four-unit single-family properties.
The CSP is a technology and operational platform that is being developed by CSS, a joint venture of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. CSP will perform many of the core back office operations for the Single Security, as well as most of the Enterprises' current securitization functions for single-family mortgages, on behalf of the Enterprises. The CSP is necessary for the implementation of the Single Security.
