Building equitable access to homeownership credit for America’s underserved BIPOC and LMI communities.
About us
Homeownership Council of America is the only national nonprofit dedicated to developing and expanding homeownership through lending pathways. We are staffed by a group of experienced mortgage and nonprofit lending professionals. We are guided by our passionate and knowledgeable Board of Directors and a host of advisors throughout the industry from regulators, third party providers, major banks, independent mortgage lenders, and nonprofits. Together, we take a leadership role in building partnerships between investors and nonprofit lenders to provide homeownership access. HCA is focused on underserved communities where people of color, low income, and rural populations continually lag in homeownership. HCA bridges lending gaps through our CLIMB program and CDFI lender services. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to solve the broken links between mortgage lending and underserved communities. CLIMB creates reliable delivery systems through nonprofit lenders using investor capital. This bridges the gaps to homeownership. Together we are untapping the full potential of America’s underserved communities. Our new Equity DPA is the first national SPCP program offering, designed as a game-changing down payment and closing cost assistance program involving HUD certified organizations and lender partners, in an efficient and scalable model. Equity DPA serves qualifying low income and minority first time homebuyers with a community soft second that is fully forgivable after 5 years of successful homeownership. Equity DPA will be available through any lender who wishes to participate and requires HUD approved homebuyer education.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by Empowering Hispanic Homeownership! Homeownership isn’t just about owning property—it’s about building generational wealth, securing a stable future, and creating a legacy for families. For Hispanic communities, homeownership is a key pathway to financial stability and a powerful tool in closing the wealth gap. Did you know? Latino and Black individuals are less likely than Whites to believe homeownership is possible. Source: mgic.com Did you know? Hispanic homeownership is improving, but challenges still remain—like access to fair lending, affordable housing, and education on the home buying process. We at Homeownership Council of America (HCA) are committed to changing that!! At HCA, we’re committed to breaking down these barriers by partnering with lenders to create Special Purpose Credit Program (SPCP) resources, and access to equitable lending solutions designed to empower Hispanic families. Why this matters more than ever: Generational Wealth: Homeownership helps families build equity that can be passed down to future generations. Community Stability: Owning a home strengthens neighborhoods and creates lasting roots in communities. Financial Empowerment: It offers a sense of security and control over peoples financial future. Let’s work together to make the dream of homeownership a reality for more Hispanic families. Save and share this post to with your community or tag someone who is ready to start their homeownership journey! #HispanicHeritageMonth #EmpowerHomeownership #GenerationalWealth #SpecialPurposeCreditPrograms #SPCPs #EquityCertified
