Work with a Community Liaison Officer
At Webster, we are committed to helping make the dream of home ownership possible. Webster's network of Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) support communities within our expanded footprint.
What we do
Our network of CLOs work in partnership with our Office of Corporate Responsibility (OCR) to provide support and financial education to low-to-moderate income (LMI) and minority borrowers as they work within their respective regions to meet local credit needs. We also work directly with individuals and families to help navigate the buying process and identify a lending solution that is most affordable and sustainable. In addition, Webster Bank offers special loan programs for first-time homebuyers, including Down Payment Assistance.
