* UPDATE: In July 2022, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac added the updated Supplementary Consumer Information Form (SCIF) (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac 1103) to the Mortgage Translations website. The SCIF helps industry professionals collect borrower information with standardized questions about homeownership education, housing counseling, and language preference. Additionally, the revised Mortgage Assistance Application, Borrower Solicitation Letter, Forbearance Servicer Script, and a Servicer Script for Homeowners with a Resolved COVID-19 Hardship were also added. All of the documents are now available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Tagalog.
