Affordable Homeownership Advisory Council
The Affordable Homeownership Advisory Council (Council) is an opportunity for MBA members to address the nation’s affordable housing challenges and explore innovative solutions. We operate like a think tank by discussing affordable homeownership concerns and providing possible solutions and recommendations to the Residential Board of Governors for policy consideration. We will also explore best practices and standardizations for various programs and seek new business opportunities and partnerships for MBA members.

“
The Affordable Homeownership Advisory Council provides thought leadership to MBA on a range of topics that impact affordable and equitable homeownership. The Council also provides a valuable forum for the exchange of ideas and best practices for the
industry."
