Rochester Habitat for Humanity expands, thanks to $300,000 KeyBank grant
Rochester, N.Y. — The Greater Rochester Habitat for Humanity announced on Saturday that it will expand its Habitat Homebuyer Program thanks to a $300,000 grant from the KeyBank Foundation.
The announcement was made at 560 Garson Avenue, the site of a new Habitat for Humanity home which KeyBank teammates helped build.
"Homeownership helps families build wealth, strengthens communities, and helps neighborhoods grow and thrive block by block here in Rochester and across Western New York," said KeyBank Rochester Market President Vince Lecce. "We are excited to invest in and partner with Greater Rochester Habitat for Humanity as they find transformative and innovative ways to make our community stronger by making homeownership more accessible and sustainable for all."
The grant will help Greater Rochester Habitat for Humanity double its impact on the communities it serves and expand its financial literacy training and counseling services.
The funds will also help the organization serve an additional 50 families, or approximately 150 individuals, over the next two years.
