Provident Bank, based in the U.S. state of New Jersey, announced in Iselin on November 3 that it has awarded $83,000 in grants to ten local nonprofit organizations through its Community Development Partnership Program. The grants will advance financial literacy education, affordable housing, and homeownership, and help meet the credit needs of the communities served.
The ten recipients are the Central Jersey Housing Resource Center, Clinton Hill Community Action, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newark, the Housing & Community Development Network of New Jersey, the Housing Partnership, Ironbound Community Corporation, New Jersey Community Capital, NORWESCAP, the Urban League of Essex County, and the Urban League of Union County, working in areas including affordable housing construction and rehabilitation, neighborhood revitalization, homebuyer education and financial coaching, and opportunity creation for low-income families.
