The Bank of America Foundation has contributed $5,000 to the San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust Fund.

“Bank of America supports San Luis Obispo community organizations that provide education, jobs, affordable housing and food for local residents.” – Greg Bland, Central Coast market president at Bank of America

“Bank of America has always been a strong and generous supporter,” adds Jerry Rioux, the Housing Trust Fund’s executive director.

“The bank has contributed well over $100,000 to date to support our efforts to address the housing crisis in San Luis Obispo County.”

The HTF is a nonprofit corporation that was formed in 2003 to increase the supply of affordable housing in San Luis Obispo County.  Rather than develop, own or manage affordable housing, the HTF provides financing and technical assistance to help private developers, nonprofit agencies and local governments create and preserve homes that working families, seniors and persons with disabilities can afford to rent and buy.  The HTF has provided $18 million in financing to assist 661 units of affordable housing in the county.  Additional information is available online at slochtf.org.  Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/housingtrustfund
