BOSTON – February 1, 2024 – MassHousing has recently partnered with three Massachusetts community-based lenders – Greylock Federal Credit Union, Unibank and Harvard University Employees Credit Union (HUECU).
The three will join 80 other MassHousing-approved lenders who originate affordable, MassHousing-financed home mortgage loans and down payment assistance to qualified homebuyers. These partner lenders originate, underwrite and close loans that conform to MassHousing criteria, and then sell the loans to MassHousing who is the servicer.
"I am very pleased that our three newest lender partners are community-based lenders," said MassHousing VP for Home Ownership Programs Mounzer Aylouche. "These credit unions and banks know their customers very well, are pillars of the community, and are in a good position to help customers find the right affordable mortgage loan, which I firmly believe in most cases is a MassHousing loan."
MassHousing is a quasi-public state authority that works to make housing more affordable in Massachusetts. The agency makes loans to low- and moderate-income homebuyers and finances the construction and preservation of affordable rental apartments. MassHousing has helped more than 108,000 low- and moderate-income families and individuals become homeowners.
