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. He also launched the first U.S.-based digital ESG bond for a market-leading CDFI, as well as sponsoring the launch of U.S. Bank Access Banking to serve MDIs, HBCUs, and diverse client segments.

In his role at Homium, Martin will focus on developing place-based solutions, program-related initiatives, and employee benefit programs through innovative shared appreciation financing. 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 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."

"Marcus's experience and dedication to impact solutions through capital markets and public-private partnerships make him an invaluable addition to Homium," said Tommy Mercein, CEO of Homium. "His leadership will help us build mission-aligned collaborations, and he will be instrumental in advancing Homium's goal of sustainable homeownership initiatives that bring lasting community wealth through expanding access to fair and affordable homeownership nationwide."‍
