Majority Homeownership : Future of Housing is NOW ft. Mosi Gatling

In this powerful episode of the podcast, we sit down with Mosi Gatling, Senior Vice President of Strategic Growth and Expansion at New American Funding, to explore the future of homeownership in America and how the industry can take meaningful steps to close the homeownership gap.

Mosi brings over two decades of mortgage industry expertise and has built an impressive career as a dynamic speaker, coach, and leader. She’s been consistently recognized among the top 1% of mortgage originators by Scotsman Guide, with a proven track record of helping families achieve their dreams of owning a home. Her passion lies in creating accessible, affordable, and sustainable homeownership opportunities, especially for underrepresented communities.

As the driving force behind initiatives like New American Funding's Black Impact program and the Housing Advocate Certification training, Mosi has been on a mission to empower both industry professionals and prospective homebuyers. These programs equip loan officers and real estate agents with the tools, knowledge, and cultural competency they need to effectively serve minority homebuyers, particularly in the Black community.

In this conversation, Mosi shares insights into how lenders, agents, and policymakers can work together to remove barriers and ensure that homeownership becomes a reality for more families across the nation. She also opens up about her personal journey, her passion for education, and why she believes in empowering the next generation of homeowners.

Key topics we explore in this episode include:

• Strategies for increasing sustainable homeownership.

• The importance of financial literacy and education in building wealth.

• How loan officers and real estate agents can serve diverse communities more effectively.

• Breaking down systemic barriers to create real, lasting impact.

• Why now is the time to act boldly for the future of housing.

Mosi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. In 2025, she was honored with the Beverly Faull Affordable Housing Leadership Award and received her second consecutive HousingWire Women of Influence Award. She also serves on the board of FirstHome IQ, a nonprofit dedicated to providing education and resources for the next generation of homeowners.

This episode is a must-listen for mortgage professionals, real estate leaders, and anyone passionate about expanding homeownership opportunities in America. Mosi’s leadership and vision are inspiring a movement where every family has the chance to achieve stability and wealth through owning a home.
