Affordable Mortgage Lending Center

Affordable Mortgage Lending Center

Mortgage Lending

Mortgage lending is an important element of many community banks’ business and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) strategies. The FDIC’s Affordable Mortgage Lending Center is designed as a resource for community banks to help them compare a variety of current affordable mortgage programs and to identify the next steps if they seek to expand or initiate affordable mortgage lending. Offering affordable mortgage loans to a wide range of customers can deepen bank customer relationships and provide an important pathway for borrowers to own their own homes and participate in the mainstream banking system.
