Longbridge rolls out market insights platform for reverse mortgage brokers. Longbridge Financial, one of the nation's leading reverse mortgage lenders, on Thursday announced the rollout of its Reverse Analytics Market Platform (RAMP), a free dashboard tool for mortgage brokers that offers insights into Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) originations. Dan Ribler, the company's vice president of capital markets and strategy, told HousingWire's Reverse Mortgage Daily in an interview that Longbridge considers RAMP to be a solution to the "information vacuum" that many reverse mortgage professionals contend with. The platform relies on publicly available HECM data through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) but is structured in a digestible format and requires no financial commitment on the part of its approved broker partners.

Longbridge Financial commits $150,000 to Meals on Wheels America to help End the Wait(R) for seniors nationwide. * 1 hr ago Longbridge Financial was built on a single conviction that older Americans deserve to stay in their homes, on their terms, for as long as they choose. When the company looked for a partner, whose work made that future more possible, the answer was clear. Longbridge Financial today announced a one-year, $150,000 corporate partnership with Meals on Wheels America, supporting the organization's bold goal to End the Wait and ensure that every senior who needs Meals on Wheels services can access them. TUV leader Jim Allister MP reacts as three dead in Ballymena. The partnership helps advance Meals on Wheels America's bold goal to End the Wait by highlighting the urgent need for greater investment in the Meals on Wheels network as demand continues to outpace capacity. Nearly 14 million seniors face food insecurity, and one in three Meals on Wheels providers has a waitlist, with older adults waiting an average of more than three months for services. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping older adults live healthier, safer and more independent lives. "Older Americans are at the center of everything we do at Longbridge Financial, and we believe we have a responsibility to show up for them in ways that go well beyond our core business," said Chris Mayer, CEO of Longbridge Financial. "Meals on Wheels America is doing vital work to address some of the most pressing challenges facing seniors today, from hunger and malnutrition to loneliness and isolation, and we are proud to support that mission. This is the kind of partnership that reflects who we are as a company." "Far too many older adults have been left waiting for the nutritious meals and moments of social connection that they deserve," said Kristine Templin, Chief Development and Marketing Officer at Meals on Wheels America. "We're grateful for Longbridge Financial's commitment to End the Wait and their investment in strengthening the Meals on Wheels network so more older adults can access nutritious meals, meaningful connection and the support they need to remain independent." Through End the Wait, Meals on Wheels America is working alongside its network of approximately 5,000 community-based providers to serve more seniors, better, by scaling national programming to build local capacity, growing partnerships to reach communities with the greatest need, and leveraging its influence to drive change across systems, practices and policies. The partnership extends beyond a financial commitment. Longbridge employees at its Paramus, N.J., and Houston offices, along with its remote workforce nationwide, will participate in Messages of Love, a Meals on Wheels America program in which volunteers handwrite personal cards delivered to homebound seniors alongside their meals. The company will host Messages of Love events in fall 2026 and again in 2027.
