As part of the Intentional Community Conversation series, Intend speaks with partners, borrowers, and homebuyers about our work to create people with opportunity through impactful programs and helpful resources. In this interview, we speak with one of our long-time banking partners, Merchants Bank of Indiana.
Listen as Intend Indiana CEO Steven Meyer and Becca Murphy, Vice President of Affordable Lending for Merchants Bank of Indiana, speak about the Intend/Merchants Bank partnership, what’s changing in homeownership, and how we’re working to help close the racial wealth gap through affordable housing initiatives.
Steven and Becca also speak about how we collaborated to make HomePower, a single-family home loan product for low- to moderate-income borrowers, a reality. The program has been impactful in making dreams of homeownership come true, and Merchants Bank has been a partner in its success.
Partnerships thrive when leaders work together to approach existing challenges from a new perspective. Merchants Bank understands the anxiety that homebuyers have around the process. One of the reasons we’ve enjoyed working with their team is because they are patient, empathetic, and can explain complicated issues in a simple way. Together, we’re creating new and improved ways to address the challenges of affordable housing.
