Local nonprofit receives SunTrust grant to help promote homeownership

Family Services, Inc. (FSI) was among one of the 15 nonprofit housing agencies nationwide to receive generous grants from SunTrust Mortgage, the home loan subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, Inc., (NYSE: STI). The Charleston-based nonprofit received $100,000 for its first time homebuyer program and was one of eight NeighborWorks organizations to receive a SunTrust grant.

The grant ensures that FSI and the other housing agencies can continue to provide individuals and families with professional financial and housing counseling services that enable them to reach financial stability. Every year, FSI helps thousands of people gain control over their financial future. They offer programs that assist people with financial coaching, credit improvement, debt management, student debt solutions, bankruptcy counseling, and homebuyer education. 

“SunTrust’s generosity will assist us in helping 100 additional community members achieve their dream of homeownership in 2016,” Debbie Kidd, FSI’s Homeownership Resource Center director, said.

According to NeighborWorks America President and CEO Paul Weech, “Nearly 90 percent of people in a recent NeighborWorks survey said homeownership is a key part of the American Dream. The programmatic investments from SunTrust will help these high-performing NeighborWorks organizations make those dreams come true.” In addition to this, “NeighborWorks America is excited by the continuing support from SunTrust Mortgage for the homeownership and consumer financial preparedness work of NeighborWorks organizations.
