Tustin, California-based New American Funding, a residential mortgage originator mainly focused on minority communities, has announced a continuation of its cost-cutting initiative.
The reduction in force impacts 240 employees.
According to a company spokesperson, “As a result of current mortgage market conditions, New American Funding took action this week to reduce its workforce. In total, the company separated approximately 240 positions from multiple locations, with the majority of the reduction in force impacting mortgage operations.”
“The past two years have seen unprecedented highs in the mortgage industry, but since spring, the environment has retreated from those peaks. The mortgage market slowdown is, unfortunately, affecting our entire industry. We are all working hard to determine the best way to operate in today’s market. It is our duty as stewards of this company to ensure that we are properly positioned and able to responsibly navigate the current marketplace.”
“These situations are never easy, and these are decisions that we do not take lightly,” Arvielo said. “We recognize the enormous contributions that each of these valued team members has made to our company, sincerely thank them for their efforts, and wish them all success going forward.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
