“We saw an opportunity for MBA to be a convener and help get these stakeholders organized around the challenges of minority homeownership [in Columbus], similar to the model in Memphis. Additionally, MBA is helping by bringing in some great national partners to join the effort. Columbus is also a market with opportunities for us to make a real impact if we can organize all of these great stakeholders around a common playbook, which is exactly what we plan to do.”
–Steve O’Connor, MBA Senior Vice President of Affordable Housing Initiatives.
