LOS ANGELES, CA – President & CEO Gregory C. Scott from New Directions, Inc., stood with Byron K. Reed, Wells Fargo Community Development Senior Vice President in supporting our veterans at a special presentation and “Home Buyer Seminar” on Wednesday, November 7th at the New Directions facility located at Veterans Administration complex in West Los Angeles.

The seminar, led by Wells Fargo Branch Manager and military veteran Jeffrey Clark, had close to 100 guests in attendance. The seminar introduced veterans the language of homeownership and gave an overview of innovative opportunities available to first-time homebuyers.

“Wells Fargo is one of my favorite banks. It’s the very first place where I saved $2,000.00 in tips as a teenager and opened my first account. I’m happy that New Directions is partnering with Wells Fargo to help veterans,” said seminar attendee and United States Marine Alejandro Leon.

Partnering with New Directions in this effort is Wells Fargo, who created a Military Affairs Program to elevate its efforts in serving active duty military and veterans. As part of the program, Wells Fargo has identified three top initiatives which include placing added focus on getting active duty military and veterans into homes, helping veterans get back to work, and providing financial education training. As the number one originator of VA loans, Wells Fargo continues to help provide safe, sustainable housing to veterans and active duty military through quality mortgages, financial assistance and donations via non-profit organizations.
