In May 2020, the Massachusetts Division of Banks awarded ten consumer organizations $345,000 in grants to fund first-time home ownership counseling programs throughout the Commonwealth. This is the thirteenth-consecutive year the Division has awarded these financial education grants to support Massachusetts residents pursuing home ownership opportunities. These grants are funded by fees associated with the licensing of mortgage loan originators.
