NFC 2022 Annual Report-Combined

2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends and Supporters,

It is hard to believe that 2022 was my eighth year as the Executive Director of NFC; it was a year of exciting things paired with challenges for mortgage lenders nationwide. I want to start by sharing some exciting things that happened this year.

NFC Phase 20 Offering

NFC has completed 23 Offerings since the first one in 1991. This year, NFC raised $21.75M in lending capital from twelve local financial institutions. As one of our largest offerings, the NFC Board of Directors and Team appreciates this support and confidence. These funds will be used to provide purchase, refinance, and home improvement loans paired with forgivable loans throughout our Polk County Lending Area.

NFC was awarded $2M in Des Moines, Urbandale, and Cedar Rapids to provide homebuyers and homeowners a $10,000 Energy Advantage deferred loan. Combined with an NFC repayable and forgivable loan, the Energy Advantage program will allow homeowners to take control of their energy footprint by adding or replacing items such as solar, heat pumps, new efficient HVAC systems, Energy Star windows and doors, and other energy improvement repairs. We are excited to see the energy savings this program will provide and will share our data in the future.

As you read through our Annual Report, you will learn about our launch of Journey to Homeownership and NFC Properties’ partnership with Invest DSM. You will also read that we did fewer loans than in 2020 and 2021 due to the rising interest rates. We are thankful that we have a variety of programs and can still bring affordable loans for home renovations to neighborhoods.

Thank you for being so committed to neighborhoods and safe and affordable housing opportunities,

Stephanie Murphy

Journey to Homeownership (J2H) provides educational tools and resources to support African Americans looking to become homeowners. The core part of the J2H initiative is a down payment assistance program. Due to J2H, we were able to fulfill the dreams of homeownership for a father and his son. Wilson Sr was referred to NFC by the Evelyn K Davis Center, and shortly after he started working with us, his son reached out to start the pre-qualification

process. In just over two months, both father and son purchased their first-ever home and chose to live near each other on the same street. Both used the Journey to Homeownership deferred loan, along with other NFC programs. Each of their homes will have new upgrades that will make homeownership less expensive and reduce maintenance costs in the future.

Loans to Communities of Color

NFC increased our lending to communities of color from 13.8% of total borrowers in 2021 to 17.9% in 2022. This included doubling the percentage of African American households from 5.1% in 2021 to 10.8% in 2022. Historically, NFC has been able to increase our lending to community of color households when down payment funds are available. This is one reason we were excited to launch Journey to Homeownership.

CEDAR RAPIDS LENDING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2019

NFC Cedar Rapids (NFC) launched in 2018, and closed our first loan in January 2019. This initiative is only possible due to the City of Cedar Rapids and their annual contribution of over $5 million to-date, local financial institutions that provided $8 million lending capital, and initial donors that provided start-up operational funds.

In 2022, the Cedar Rapids Office moved to the new Collins Community Credit Union building at 1800 First Ave NE. NFC is very appreciative of Collins Community Credit Union for their generous donation of our office
