loanDepot Supports Habitat for Humanity’s Work to Create Equitable, Inclusive Communities as a Presenting Sponsor of “Home is the Key”

loanDepot, Inc. ("LDI" or "Company") (NYSE: LDI), a leading provider of home lending solutions that enables customers to achieve the dream of homeownership, is proud to be a presenting sponsor of Habitat for Humanity’s annual Home is the Key cause marketing campaign. Coinciding with Fair Housing Month, the campaign was created to help unlock equitable homeownership and build inclusive communities across the U.S.

“At loanDepot, we know homeownership is a critical contributor to strong and stable communities, which is why we’re so passionate about all Habitat does to support fair and equitable housing,” said loanDepot, Inc. President and CEO Frank Martell. “We look forward to rolling up our sleeves during the Home is the Key campaign to do our part in creating a lasting impact for Habitat families in our communities.”

Sharing in Habitat’s knowledge that a decent, affordable home is the key to stability, well-being, and intergenerational wealth, loanDepot team members will volunteer for Habitat in Southern California throughout the campaign, helping to build a multi-family home in Los Angeles along with playhouses for families in Orange County.

Team loanDepot will also join forces with other Habitat partners for a special Home is the Key Volunteer Day in Long Beach on April 11 steps away from the Washington Villas, the largest project in Habitat LA’s history. This event holds particular significance as it commemorates the historic passage of the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination on the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, or nationality.

“loanDepot has been a valuable partner to Habitat, and we are excited to have their support during the Home is the Key campaign,” said Charlita Stephens-Walker, vice president, corporate and cause marketing partnerships, Habitat for Humanity International. “Home is the key to stability, well-being, and intergenerational wealth, and this year’s campaign reminds us that we all benefit when home is accessible to everyone. We are grateful to have partners like loanDepot who share in our vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.”

As a purpose-driven lender committed to helping more families realize their financial and homeownership goals, loanDepot supports Habitat’s mission to help homeowners achieve the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life for themselves and for their families. loanDepot’s partnership with Habitat was sparked by loanDepot’s commitment to leaving a lasting positive impact on the places where its employees live and work. As part of a year-long partnership, loanDepot executives and employees have supported Habitat builds across the country in Arizona, California, New Jersey, and Texas.

About Habitat for Humanity

Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity began in 1976 as a grassroots effort on a community farm in southern Georgia.
