BEREA, Ky., May 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Fahe, a regional nonprofit network and Community Development Financial Institution dedicated to building thriving communities across Appalachia, today announced the launch of a digital advertising campaign introducing Housing Can’t Wait® to donors, investors, philanthropic advisors, donor-advised fund professionals, and private wealth advisors seeking measurable, place-based impact.

Running in May and June, the campaign is designed to increase awareness of Fahe’s role as a trusted Appalachian housing network and financial intermediary capable of moving capital into community-led housing solutions.

Across Appalachia, housing shortages are constraining workforce stability, family wellbeing, and long-term economic growth. Communities are ready to build and rehabilitate more homes, but many need aligned capital, flexible funding, and trusted local implementation partners to move solutions forward.

Housing Can’t Wait connects urgent housing needs with investment-ready strategies to accelerate production and strengthen communities across Appalachia.

“Housing is economic infrastructure,” said Jim King, CEO of Fahe. “For donors and investors looking for durable impact, Appalachia offers a powerful opportunity. Fahe and our Member network have the local relationships, financial tools, and execution capacity to help turn philanthropic and investment capital into measurable housing and community outcomes.”

The national campaign will focus on two priority audiences. The first includes current and prospective funders already aligned with housing, community development, rural resilience, poverty reduction, workforce stability, and economic opportunity. The second includes philanthropic advisors, private wealth advisors, donor-advised fund teams, family office advisors, and impact investing professionals who help high-net-worth households determine where charitable and mission-aligned capital can do meaningful work.

The campaign’s message is direct: Appalachia has housing solutions ready to scale, and Fahe has the network, CDFI capacity, and local Member reach to help deploy capital where it can make a lasting difference.

Digital placements will drive audiences to the Housing Can’t Wait Funder/Investor Resource Center, where donors, funders, and investors can learn more about the housing challenge, Fahe’s regional strategy, and opportunities to support community-led solutions.

The campaign builds on Fahe’s broader Housing Can’t Wait initiative, a regional performance challenge to build or preserve 60,000 homes and impact one million people across Appalachia by 2030.

“Housing Can’t Wait helps donors and investors understand why housing is economic infrastructure in Appalachia,” said Fahe President Sara Morgan. “It connects the case for investment with real examples of community-led solutions, a regional network ready to move capital into implementation, and Fahe’s CDFI and intermediary capacity. For partners looking for measurable rural impact, this is a practical pathway to engage.”

With this national campaign, Fahe is expanding visibility for Housing Can’t Wait among philanthropic and investment audiences positioned to help close rural housing gaps and strengthen Appalachian communities.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Friday Harbor, an AI pre-underwriting platform that helps loan officers assemble complete and compliant loan files in real time, is the first mortgage technology provider to receive an AI governance compliance attestation from mortgage banking and financial services law firm Brody Gapp LLP.

The attestation follows a formal compliance review of Friday Harbor’s platform, which uses AI to analyze borrower documents, appraisal files and product guidelines to calculate qualifying income, identify potential issues and guide resolution paths before loans reach underwriting. Brody Gapp’s review included analysis of fair lending applicability, adverse action considerations, model governance, vendor risk management, data governance, internal controls and examination readiness.

As lenders rapidly adopt artificial intelligence across the origination process, many are still developing frameworks to evaluate how these tools fit within existing compliance, risk management and vendor oversight expectations. Brody Gapp’s attestation introduces a new approach for governing AI-driven mortgage technologies as these capabilities become increasingly embedded across mortgage platforms and workflows.

“AI is being deployed across the mortgage lifecycle faster than most institutions can evaluate it,” said James Brody, founder and managing partner of Brody Gapp LLP. “Our goal is to help lenders and technology providers establish stronger governance, documentation and compliance readiness as these tools become more widely adopted.”

For lenders, the attestation provides an additional layer of assurance when assessing AI vendors. For Friday Harbor, it reinforces the company’s position as an early leader in applying AI to improve loan quality and operational efficiency while supporting compliant lending practices. The attestation is expected to serve as a model for future AI governance reviews across the mortgage industry.

“Lenders don’t just need innovation. They need confidence that the technology they’re adopting will stand up to regulatory scrutiny,” said Theo Ellis, founder and CEO of Friday Harbor. “Being first to complete this process gives our customers a clear signal that Friday Harbor is built with that standard in mind.”

JONESBORO, Ga., May 15, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Samba Recovery Atlanta today announced it will officially open its Jonesboro facility to patients on May 18, 2026, expanding access to medically supervised detox and structured residential addiction treatment in Clayton County. Local leaders and community members previously gathered on April 13, 2026, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house to mark the completion of the facility.

The opening arrives at a critical juncture for the south Atlanta region. According to recent public health data and Southern Regional Medical Center’s Community Health Needs Assessment, Clayton County faces unique vulnerabilities that compound substance use disorders:

• OVERDOSE RATES: A statewide opioid continuum-of-care assessment placed Clayton County among the top 15 Georgia counties for total opioid overdose deaths in 2022.
• AT-RISK POPULATIONS: The county currently ranks 47th among Georgia counties for nonmedical drug use and 46th for mental distress.
• THE TREATMENT GAP: Compounded by above-average unemployment and high rates of underinsured residents, local options for the immersive residential treatment required for severe addiction have been very limited, often forcing families to travel long distances for immediate help.

“On behalf of Clayton County, I’m proud to welcome Samba Recovery Atlanta to our community,” said Clayton County Commissioner DeMont Davis. “The need for compassionate, high-quality treatment has never been greater, and this facility represents exactly the kind of resource Clayton County needs. Samba Recovery Atlanta will give individuals and families a place to find support, healing, and hope close to home.”

The project also represents a physical revitalization of the community. Samba Recovery transformed a formerly distressed, bankrupt property into a modern healing environment, an investment that has also created local jobs.

“Our mission is to transform lives through compassionate, evidence-based care, restoring hope, health, and connection for individuals and families impacted by addiction and mental health,” said Josh Bamberger, CEO of Samba Recovery. “We cherish the partnerships we have formed here. Let’s make today the start of something extraordinary as we work toward the common goal of lasting recovery.”

ABOUT SAMBA RECOVERY ATLANTA

Located in Jonesboro, Georgia, Samba Recovery Atlanta provides compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment for the greater south Atlanta area. Part of the broader Samba Recovery network, the facility offers medically supervised detox, residential care, and ongoing recovery support designed to help clients rebuild their lives with dignity, structure, and hope.
