NEW YORK, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Kemp, former US Housing Secretary,
nine-term Congressman, Vice Presidential candidate and professional football

has joined Atlanta-based Generation Mortgage Company, which specializes in
providing reverse mortgages to qualified seniors and partners, as a company
spokesperson.

"We are thrilled that Jack has agreed to represent Generation Mortgage and
the reverse mortgage industry," said Jeffrey Lewis, Chairman of Generation
Mortgage. "We've ascertained that the vast majority of American seniors
admire Jack's outstanding accomplishments, his multi-faceted career and
respect his values, financial acumen, and dedication to the American Dream. A
strong advocate of the housing industry, Jack is a natural fit for us as he
was deeply enmeshed in affordable housing issues, housing finance and home
ownership when he served as US Housing Secretary from 1989-1993. We are
honored that he has agreed to help us promote our wide variety of reverse
mortgage products."
In recent years, Mr. Kemp has spoken with seniors nationwide, many of whom
mistakenly believe that the government will provide for them in a comfortable
manner when their resources are scarce. He strongly advocates considering a
reverse mortgage for those who qualify as part of a comprehensive plan
structured to allow seniors to live in their homes for as long as they so
desire with greater financial security.
"A reverse mortgage is certainly not for everyone, but it can play a
significant role in one's ability to care for oneself and one's family later
on in life," said Mr. Kemp. "I am truly impressed by the dedicated team at
Generation Mortgage, which has forged a strong commitment to helping senior
homeowners 62 and older take charge of their financial future."
Mr. Kemp, who also served as a Congressman from Buffalo, NY for 18 years,
enjoyed national recognition as a star quarterback, winning two AFL Western
Division championships for the Chargers. In addition, he played for the
Buffalo Bills, and quarterbacked them to three straight Eastern Division
titles and two AFL championships. He also co-founded the American Football
League Players Association and was five times elected its president.
