The meaning behind the Kani Award echoes CBCMA\u2019s tribal roots and the company\u2019s longstanding commitment to promoting inclusive homeownership since its inception 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dream of homeownership becomes a reality for many borrowers with the partnership between Chenoa and NOVA Home Loans,\u201d Ryan Vondrak, CEO NOVA Home Loans, stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Kani Award is intended to spotlight lenders that share CBCMA\u2019s passion for creating positive change in LMI communities and supporting economic stability for homebuying families by offering innovative programs that combat barriers to homeownership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupreme Lending is proud to partner with CBC Mortgage Agency and we\u2019re truly honored to earn the inaugural Kani Award distinction,\u201d said Supreme Lending SVP of National Sales Candice McNaught. \u201cAt Supreme, we\u2019re committed to delivering homeownership for all, especially lower income families, first-time buyers, and underserved communities. We\u2019re grateful to offer financing options through programs like the Chenoa Fund that help put people into homes and enrich lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To be eligible for the Kani Award, lenders must be active correspondents with at least $20 million in loan volume during the past year and currently use Chenoa Fund programs. CBC Mortgage Agency operates the Chenoa Fund down payment assistance (DPA) program that enable first-time and existing homebuyers to access assistance for up to 5% of their home price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach of this year\u2019s Kani Award winners has shown exceptional commitment and dedication to providing equitable opportunities for underrepresented communities to achieve homeownership,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About CBC Mortgage Agency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2013, CBC Mortgage Agency is a nationally chartered housing finance agency.
