2024 Housing for Everyone grant recipients
strengthen independent living solutions
TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank,
America's Most Convenient Bank®, today announced it awarded a total
of $7 million to 37 non-profits across the bank's Maine to Florida
footprint and in Michigan through the 18th annual Housing for
Everyone grant program. Grants ranging from $150,000 to $250,000
will support independent living for marginalized community members,
especially those who experience homelessness and face conditions
that make it difficult to maintain a stable home without additional
help.
As the affordable housing crisis continues, gaining access to
and sustaining safe affordable housing remains out of reach for
many across the U.S. The 2024 Housing for Everyone grant recipients
represent organizations focused on housing solutions including
rapid re-housing (such as short-term rental assistance), permanent
supportive housing (such as a combination of leasing and/or rental
assistance and/or support services) or transitional housing (such
as temporary accommodations) that lead to stable, independent
living situations.
"These organizations are making it their primary mission to help
relieve some of the most vulnerable members of our community —
those who are unsheltered or experiencing homelessness due to
higher eviction rates as pandemic-era programs have ended or
financial insecurity grows through inflation or other factors,"
said Paige Carlson-Heim, Director of the TD Charitable Foundation.
"Housing for Everyone grant recipients are working closely with TD
to improve access by creating innovative solutions that are helping
to create a more sustainable and inclusive future for everyone. It
is a privilege to support our 2024 Housing for Everyone grant
recipients and to continue to be a part of this imperative
work."
