In this podcast, Breaking Barriers with Bruce Marks, you'll hear directly from him as he shares his insights about the ongoing fight against predatory lenders and his groundbreaking work providing affordable homeownership to historically underserved communities across the country, especially low- to moderate-income people and people of color.

Bruce was named Bostonian of the Year in 2007 for his pivotal role in convincing major lenders and servicers to modify predatory mortgage loans.

Through its 47 offices nationwide, NACA offers the Best Mortgage in America—with no down payment, no closing costs, no PMI and no consideration of credit score, all at a below-market fixed interest rate.
