NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Homium, a pioneer in sustainable homeownership financing, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Marcus L. Martin II as Chief Impact Officer. With over 25 years of experience in social impact and financial innovation, Martin brings extensive expertise providing impact at scale across the financial markets within ESG, public-private partnerships, and impact investors, while also delivering innovative emerging technology solutions which he will harness to drive Homium’s mission to expand affordable homeownership opportunities in underserved regions and working-class communities across America.
As the former Managing Director and Head of ESG Advisory & Digital Assets at U.S. Bank, Martin led pioneering initiatives such as the development of the ESG/Social Racial Equity Bond program, which continues to provide market-based liquidity to sponsors for affordable and workforce housing, built by emerging and BIPOC developers.

Working with foundations, not-for-profits, corporate and public sector employers, faith-based institutions, municipalities, unions, and high-net-worth family offices, he will create sustainable pathways to homeownership for first-time buyers, low-income families, veterans, employees, and historically underserved populations.
“The future of affordable homeownership lies in creating scalable, market-based solutions with mutualism at the center for all parties involved,” said Marcus Martin. “At Homium, I’m excited to apply my experience in the capital markets to develop programs and solutions which can transform how we approach affordable homeownership and subsequent wealth creation through innovative funding and support models.”
