The family includes a husband, wife, two young daughters and the wife’s mother.
This property donation is part of a three year commitment by Bank of America to Habitat for Humanity to donate up to 2,000 vacant properties for renovation or reconstruction to help stabilize and revitalize local communities.
In 2013, Bank of America also awarded Habitat for Humanity Twin Cities with a grant to support its homeownership activities including settling low-income families into new or rehabbed affordable homes.
In addition:
- Since 2008, Bank of America has provided home loan modifications for more than 1.1 million customers, including 14,429 customers in Minnesota. This includes 1,549 home loan modifications for Minnesota customers in 2012.
