The foundation of strong communities

Neighborhoods thrive when housing is affordable and accessible, and residents can enjoy better health, education and earnings. We take pride in growing affordable and workforce housing and developing long-term solutions.

How we approach promoting inclusive neighborhoods

We’re empowering local leaders with high-quality, forward-looking data and planning tools—including the firm’s original research—so they can address their most urgent challenges.

We take local solutions and scale them, drive capital to high-impact projects and encourage public-private collaboration. Our aim is to help residents of all income levels prosper.

We’re expanding access to affordable, sustainable homeownership with home lending products and services, plus a lease-to-purchase program and other pathways to homeownership.

We’re working closely with community, business and government leaders to help break down the barriers of systematic racism. Through our Racial Equity Commitment, JPMorgan Chase is investing $30 billion into our communities, $2 billion of which increases funding for construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.
