CUSO Home Lending was named one of MaineHousing’s Top 10 lenders in Maine for 2025.
MaineHousing’s total loan purchase production for 2025 reached $321 million—a record year—and CUSO was proud to be part of that.
Nicole Savage accepted the recognition on behalf of CUSO Home Lending, alongside Josh Howes of Maine Savings FCU, who was their top-producing loan officer for MaineHousing loans in 2025.
“Being named a Top 10 MaineHousing lender for 2025 reflects the work being done every day by CUSO and our credit union partners to help first-time homebuyers across Maine find their way home,” shared Lori Michaud, President & CEO of CUSO Home Lending.” Special recognition goes to Josh Howes for his exceptional contributions this year.”
MaineHousing programs remain one of the most accessible paths to homeownership for first-time buyers in Maine, and this recognition is a reflection of the credit union network that makes those programs work at the local level.
