MBA bolsters affordable housing initiative with 2 advisory councils

The Mortgage Bankers Association has formed two advisory councils to support its affordable housing initiative.

MBA launched the initiative in June to develop stronger and more effective affordable housing partnerships in both the policy and business spaces. MBA said that the partnerships aim to promote more sustainable, affordable homes for underserved people and communities, especially minorities and low- to moderate-income Americans.

The councils will provide the association with advice, feedback, and ideas related to where MBA should focus its resources, new business approaches, public policy, and strategic partnerships, as well as data and research.

"In order to identify, develop, and execute successful affordable housing partnerships, we need to utilize the expertise and talents of a diverse array of industry professionals," said Steve O'Connor, senior vice president of affordable housing initiatives at MBA. "I am grateful that these executives are willing to give some of their time to make sure MBA's efforts reflect the best thinking and have the highest chances of success."
