TD Charitable Donates $150K to Cross Roads House

TD Charitable Foundation today awarded Cross Roads House, a local Portsmouth-based organization, with a $150,000 Housing for Everyone grant to support its Building Bridges to Permanent Housing initiative. The funding will help Cross Roads expand shelter strategies for people who are homeless. This will include housing navigation services for shelter residents and increase eviction prevention services to those in apartments, among other offerings.

Cross Roads House is one of 33 non-profit organizations across TD Bank's footprint to receive a grant through the 16th annual TD Housing for Everyone grant program. This year, the TD Charitable Foundation awarded $5.8 million to help housing organizations deliver resources and wraparound services that will help individuals and families find or keep a safe, affordable place to call home and achieve greater financial security, such as eviction prevention, housing and financial counseling, workforce development and housing search assistance.

The TD Charitable Foundation's Housing for Everyone grant program, now in its 16th year, is an annual grant program. Since 2005, the program has awarded nearly $42 million to more than 500 affordable housing projects across TD Bank's Maine-to-Florida footprint.

TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank awarded a total of $5.8 million through the 16th annual Housing for Everyone grant program. The TD Charitable Foundation selected 33 non-profit organizations across TD Bank's footprint to receive Housing for Everyone grants ranging from $150,000 to $250,000.

As individuals and families across the country faced increased hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand quickly grew for the critical resources and wraparound services housing organizations provide such as eviction prevention, workforce development, housing and financial counseling, childcare and housing search assistance.

"Housing organizations have been on the front lines of both the affordability crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been called upon time and time again over the past few years to do everything from helping people find affordable homes to serving as vaccine clinics. Each time, they've stepped up and expanded their mandates to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable members of our communities and work towards an equitable COVID-19 recovery," said Paige Carlson-Heim, Director of the TD Charitable Foundation.

Due to this increased demand on housing organizations, the TD Charitable Foundation focused the 16th annual Housing for Everyone grant program on supporting these organizations deliver the resources and wraparound services individuals and families need to access a safe, affordable place to call home.

"The TD Charitable Foundation is proud to support this year's Housing for Everyone grant recipients who worked tirelessly so people could find or remain in safe, affordable homes during these tumultuous times. Without the help of these organizations, and countless others, navigating these difficult times would have been unimaginable for many. Our support will help ensure that affordable housing providers have the capabilities and assistance required to deliver these services for the long-term," added Carlson-Heim.
