NLC Partnering with HomeFree-USA to Strengthen Financial Protection for Minority Homeowners

The National League of Cities (NLC) is collaborating with HomeFree-USA, a Black-founded nonprofit and HUD-intermediary that is focused on building financial strength and home ownership for people of color to connect HomeFree-USA members to the mortgage finance industry and government programs. The initiative is designed to create new homebuyers, sustainable homeowners, affordable homes, and revitalized communities, as well as to help prevent eviction for renters.

HomeFree-USA works to stabilize communities by minimizing evictions and foreclosures by addressing the needs of renters and the landlords as well as the homeowners and the banks. Working with residents, landlords, and banks, HomeFree-USA partners with communities to leverage federal funds from the American Rescue Plan and other government programs.
