JPMorgan Chase is embarking on an ambitious multi-year program to boost housing supply and affordable lending through 2035. The bank expects to issue more than $750 billion in funding over the next nine years to build or preserve approximately 1 million affordable housing units and increase its home lending capacity. The manufactured housing industry received a notable boost this summer with the passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which many hope will lead to increased consumer interest in such homes. Banks are boosting their affordable housing investmentsChase's initiative arrives as mortgage professionals increasingly cite the lack of affordable entry-level properties as the biggest roadblock for the first-time homebuyer. JPMorgan Chase will serve as chair of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's new housing advisory council, which launched last week.
