"Profit + Purpose: American Homeowner Preservation Proves That Socially Responsible Investing Can Yield a Healthy Return"
“They’re a lot more flexible than a bank,” said Ragusa, 48, who ran into financial trouble after losing his job in collections for a cable company in 2007. “They can work with you because they’re a private company and they can basically set their own rules.”
"...you have American Homeowner Preservation using private investor money to buy up mortgage pools and give the borrowers the solutions they need, not the ones that maximize profits for the company...it's an exciting development, and it shows you can do well and do good at the same time. Frankly, it's what the government did with the Home Owners Loan Corporation in the 1930s, and what they should be doing today."
"AHP over the years had evolved into a sort of socially conscious hedge fund. Jorge is relentless, probably steeled in part by his athletic competitiveness, and has continued to press the case for AHP's vision, and, along the way his work has caught the attention of major bloggers like Arianna Huffington, Felix Salmon and Martin Andelman. AHP is hoping to demonstrate that they have better ideas to ameliorating the foreclosure disaster"
