Bruce Marks is the founder and CEO of NACA, the largest HUD-approved nonprofit community advocacy homeownership organization in the United States. 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.

NACA has been at the forefront of the battle against predatory lending, leading the charge as the first organization to campaign against these lenders in the 1980s. Bruce was named Bostonian of the Year in 2007 for his pivotal role in convincing major lenders and servicers to modify predatory mortgage loans. He has also testified before Congress on numerous occasions, including on September 12, 2000, when he was among the few who sounded the alarm about the impending mortgage crisis.

NACA provides the most effective housing counseling program in the nation, with a proven track record of servicing affordable solutions to over 250,000 homeowners during the mortgage crisis. 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.

Bruce Marks is truly relentless. Each episode, you’ll hear how he continues to break barriers, stabilize communities and fight for economic justice. This is a podcast you don't want to miss.
