​​Housing + Economic Growth

Through our housing and community investment programs, our members increase affordable housing and promote economic development. 

"We're ready to help address the afforable housing needs of the communities you serve."

Affordable Housing Program

The Affordable Housing Program has led to the creation and improvement of thousands of affordable housing units throughout New England and beyond since 1990. 

Equity Builder Program

This homeownership assistance program enables our members to support home purchases by lower-income households. Members approved to participate can submit their homebuyer enrollments as funding is still available. 

Community Development Advance

Members use this discounted fixed-rated financing program to support affordable housing development, small business lending, and capital improvements.
