About HomeFree-USA

Bridging the gap between financial strength and homeownership for people of color across America.

Marcia and Jim Griffin launched HomeFree-USA in 1994 with a vision to close the homeownership gap by giving people the guidance they need to achieve and sustain homeownership. As the owner of the largest African American mortgage servicing company in the country, National Loan Service Center, Jim was devastated by the high rates of default among borrowers of color.

30 years later, HomeFree-USA is still on the frontlines serving the diverse interests of 6.3 million consumers through its national intermediary network. We connect government, the real estate finance industry, and consumers to create new homebuyers, sustainable homeowners, affordable homes and revitalized communities.

HomeFree-USA’s initiatives include:

  • Fast Track to Homeownership program gets renters ready for mortgage approval and homeownership. Through classes, one-on-one guidance and an easy-to-follow plan, renters are able to own a home easier, faster and with fewer hassles. Explore More
