NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a significant move to bridge the homeownership gap, particularly within underserved communities, the innovative financial guidance platform My Home Pathway today announced a strategic partnership with Ponce Bank, a leading Minority Depository Institution (MDI) and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI).

This collaboration will create a powerful ecosystem of support for aspiring homeowners. My Home Pathway offers a personalized, tech-driven approach to help individuals and families navigate the complexities of mortgage readiness, from credit improvement and debt management to savings strategies.

We are combining our technology-driven, personalized support with a financial institution that truly understands the needs of the community. Together, we are not just preparing people for a mortgage; we are creating a clear and supportive pathway to generational wealth and financial empowerment.
