Lyons, NY -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announced the winners of its Home Possible RISE Awards®. The annual program, RISE (Recognizing Individuals for Sustained Excellence), salutes Freddie Mac's top clients across multiple categories for excellence with the Home Possible® mortgage -- Freddie Mac's affordable lending solution for very low- to low-income homebuyers.

The Lyons National Bank (LNB) earned the Home Possible RISE Award in the Home Possible RISE Award for Greatest Volume.

"It is truly an honor to have received the prestigious Home Possible RISE Award for a third year in a row for our work to help people in our communities enjoy the benefits of homeownership," said Joshua Miller, Senior Vice President, LNB. "Changing a family's future by creating sustainable homeownership for people living in and around the Finger Lakes region stays true to our Bank's tagline, it's all about people."

In 2020, LNB provided lending to 632 families to help them purchase homes within the seven counties it serves.

The Home Possible RISE Awards combined volume from national Home Possible and Home Possible Advantage mortgage options. Lenders must be active Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, and correspondent lenders and brokers must originate through those Seller/Servicers. Freddie Mac reviewed 2020 data and awarded the top organizations among several categories.
