Thanks to the Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP program) offered at Ridgeland, Mississippi-based BankPlus, retired chef Allen Crawford will finally have working hot water and a remodeled kitchen in his home. Crawford had been living without hot water for years after his water heater and stove broke. His kitchen floor was caved-in and there were holes in his walls. After applying for the SNAP Program, which provides grants to assist income-qualified, special-needs homeowners with home repairs, Crawford received $5,806 for repairs from BankPlus and FHLB Dallas. "Over the years, we have worked together to help literally hundreds of families with needed home repairs and modifications," said Mark Ouellette, first vice president and director of Affordable Housing at BankPlus.
