Community Lending Field Guide

Guidance, grounded in community.

Navigating your community lending goals with purpose

MGIC’s Community Lending Field Guide is designed to equip lenders with tools, insights and consultative support to help grow homeownership in their communities.

This exclusive framework is centered on strong, sustainable homeownership that starts locally, built from the ground up, and nurtured by people and organizations who care. It’s all about assessing opportunity, cultivating trust and lending with purpose.

We offer a structured yet flexible approach to achieving your community lending goals for first-time and low-to-moderate-income (LMI) homebuyer markets. We can help you find your way with resources and insights, including data, strategies, templates, tools and guided support.

Our community lending solutions framework is field-tested, well-researched and practical in strategy – we can help you navigate both the “why” and the “how.” Because homeownership isn’t one-size-fits-all, and impact takes root in the community.
