Habitat for Humanity Owensboro-Daviess County has received a $10,000 grant from the U.S. Bank Foundation. The funding will be used to purchase signage for Ms. Virginia’s Education & Training Center, a facility designed to provide education on homeownership to first-time homeowners in the community.
“Creating equitable opportunities for our community requires resources, and we appreciate the support from the U.S. Bank Foundation, which helps us continue to build and expand the innovative programs we’re proud to offer,” said Dr. David Danhauer, Habitat Board Chair. “Habitat Owensboro-Daviess County has always been a community leader when it comes to affordable housing. The primary goal of this project, which was blessed to have the support of the U.S. Bank Foundation, is to use this facility to amplify the mission of Habitat in our community.”
U.S. Bank is committed to powering human potential and creating lasting change in communities. The bank does this through the Community Possible platform, including philanthropy, community investments, and team member volunteerism.
“Safe and stable housing helps children, families, and communities thrive. Working with Habitat for Humanity Owensboro-Daviess County to create access to affordable housing and help homebuyers gain the financial knowledge and tools to own and maintain a home is an investment that will benefit generations to come,” said Jeffery Mills, Community Affairs Manager at U.S. Bank.
Habitat will be hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the training center this month and will be inviting the U.S. Bank Foundation and all other community partners, as well as members of the community, to take a tour.
