Pathway Homes Receives $15,000 Grant from Bank of America for Neighborhood Revitalization

Pathway Homes has received $15,000 from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation to renovate a newly acquired group home. Upon completion, the home will provide a fresh start for formerly homeless individuals embracing recovery from mental illness.   In addition to providing a significant recovery step to the individuals Pathway Homes has the privilege of serving, the community benefits as this “fixer-upper”—once a neighborhood eye-sore—becomes a welcome home on the block.  

“Pathway Homes is thrilled to partner with Bank of America and commend them on their commitment and thoughtful investment in our community.” says Dr. Sylisa Lambert-Woodard, President and CEO.

Pathway Homes is just one of the 14 nonprofits in Greater Washington to receive a housing grant from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. In total, the bank is providing $290,000 to support local organizations that help families and individuals achieve and sustain financial stability.

“We’re proud to work with organizations like Pathway Homes to help individuals and families in the community take a first step toward long-term financial stability,” said Jeff Wood, Greater Washington market president, Bank of America.  “It’s part of our broader efforts to help improve the financial lives of our customers, clients and communities.”
