In case you missed the June 7th Mortgage Lending Committee Meeting, details of the meeting are include below.

1) Andrea Ierace from Accion East and Ting Wong from Eastern Bank presented on their Small Business Loan Referral Program. It helped to launch a discussion about whether a mortgage loan denial referral program could work in the mortgage industry. More to come on this topic.

2) MCBC’s CRA for Mortgage Lenders report was released in May. You can read the report and press release here. If you are interested in helping to create the curriculum for trainings for Licensed Mortgage Lenders on CRA, please contact Debbie Sousa at dsousa@massmba.com.
