The Hispanic Organization of Mortgage Experts (HOME) — a nonprofit dedicated to empowering Hispanic and Latino Americans through homeownership education and advocacy — announced the launch of HOME Certified, powered by Twiz.io, the mortgage industry's first bilingual learning management system. The organization also introduced Wholesale Search, an AI-powered tool built on ChatGPT that matches borrowers with lenders offering the products they need in seconds. Both tools are now live and available to members at www.TuNuevoHome.com.

But while HOME advances bilingual access, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced an "English-only" initiative, eliminating translated documents long used by Hispanic families. Advocates warn the shift could disproportionately affect millions of Americans — particularly residents of Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory — by limiting access to critical housing resources.

"HOME Certified is a movement built for generational impact," said Rogelio Goertzen, founder and CEO of HOME. "After 13 years in lending, we kept hearing the same thing from banks, financial institutions, broker owners, and branch managers: they wanted Spanish-speaking loan officers but had no structured way to train them. So, we built a bilingual, tech-driven platform that turns intent into funded mortgages, generational wealth, and lender growth. By pairing AI speed with cultural fluency, we propel loan officers a decade ahead and give businesses a 20-year growth engine—no matter where the market goes."
