In 2015, Wells Fargo announced its support of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals’ (NAHREP) Hispanic Wealth Project, which seeks to triple Hispanic household wealth over the next decade with a 50% growth in U.S. Hispanic homeownership, a 50% increase in success rate of first -year Hispanic-owned small businesses, and 25% more Hispanic households owning non-cash financial assets.  Supporting the Hispanic Wealth Project is part of the larger work of Wells Fargo to drive lending for minorities across the credit spectrum, first-time homebuyers and low- to moderate-income customers. The nation’s top mortgage lender plans to achieve these goals by increasing diversity of Wells Fargo team members, including its Home Mortgage Consultants; increasing the company’s presence in diverse communities; providing products, processes and programs that support diverse homeownership; and working with referral sources like real estate agents and nonprofit credit counseling agencies.
