BankPlus Helps With Home Repairs
Thirty-five low income homeowners will get critical home repairs thanks to a $253,750 Affordable Housing Program grant from BankPlus and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. The grant will help fund Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Capital Area's Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative. This is the third grant the organization has received from FHLB Dallas and BankPlus. The organization received a $400,000 grant in 2011 and a $493,000 grant in 2012, funding a total of 65 new homes and 33 home repairs. “There is a great need in this community for projects such as this, and we simply could not accomplish our goal without the support of partners like BankPlus and FHLB Dallas,” says Cynthia P. Griffin, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Mississippi Capital Area.
