2024 Housing for Everyone grant recipients strengthen independent living solutions
CHERRY HILL, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#TDhousingsummit—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.”
The 2024 Housing for Everyone grant recipients are:
- Connecticut – Grant totaling $150,000
- Florida – Grants totaling $1,100,000
- Maine – Grants totaling $325,000
- Maryland – Grants totaling $150,000
