The goal? Build or preserve 1 million affordable homes and help 500,000 people (especially 200,000 first-time buyers) become homeowners by 2035.
The bank also plans to boost mortgage lending by more than 40% and hire 850 new Home Lending Advisors to guide folks through the process.

With median home prices hitting $440,660 this summer and the median age of first-time homebuyers last year jumping to 40, the initiative aims to make owning a home feel possible again.
