This week we are kicking off a three-part series that’s focused on helping mortgage originators and mortgage banks better serve historically underserved communities and expand access to homeownership. The series is going to cover both the impact on these potential homeowners and homebuyers as well as the economic benefits for the mortgage lending market and our broader economy.

For the first installment, Clayton got a chance to sit down with AJ Barkley, the Head of Neighborhood and Community Lending at Bank of America during our HousingWire Annual event. They talk about the state of housing affordability and AJ’s path to helping mortgage banks expand access to underserved communities.

The Housing News podcast explores the most important topics happening in mortgage, real estate, and fintech. Each week a new mortgage or real estate executive joins the show to add perspective to the top stories crossing HousingWire’s news desk. Hosted by Clayton Collins and produced by the HW Media team.
