JPMorganChase said Monday it intends to deploy more than $750 billion through 2035 to increase housing supply and support homeownership across the U.S. The nearly 40% increase over the firm’s housing capital deployment in the past decade will include financing for one million affordable housing units and lending to 500,000 homebuyers.

The announcement comes as part of JPMorganChase’s American Dream Initiative, a multi-year effort to expand opportunity to millions of Americans and future generations through targeted investments in local communities. The financial services giant plans to deepen collaboration with policymakers and community partners to accelerate and scale state and local solutions to help create more housing at all income levels.

“An affordable and resilient housing market is essential to driving economic growth and increasing opportunity,” said Michelle Herrick, head of commercial real estate for J.P. Morgan. “We’re focused on helping more people access quality housing they can afford—and we’re working across the real estate community, local governments and nonprofits to scale housing solutions throughout the U.S.”

The firm will expand support for pro-growth housing policies that reduce barriers, accelerate housing production and allow for additional lending. These include supporting the implementation of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act; continuing to support efforts to harmonize standards and processes among key housing finance institutions and federal programs while expanding the role of private capital in the mortgage market; and applying lessons from local markets to advance solutions that make it easier, faster and lower cost to build housing.

In an effort to advance these policies and mobilize stakeholders to drive solutions, the firm will also join as Chair of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s newly formed Housing Advisory Council. The council is intended to serve as a business-led forum for new collaboration, stronger public-private partnerships, and development of recommendations to help shape housing policy at the local, state, and federal levels.
