LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Union Home Mortgage
Foundation, a charitable organization whose mission is to equip
families with the tools and resources to achieve economic
self-sufficiency, is expanding their grantmaking to the state of
Kentucky, donating $2,500 to nonprofit organization USA Cares, Inc.
This funding from the UHM Foundation will support the
USA Cares Military Assistance
Response Program. This program helps post-9/11 veterans and service
members find stability by providing financial assistance to pay
bills essential to their health and well-being (i.e. rent/mortgage,
utilities, auto, phone, groceries). This improves the quality of
their lives and prevents evictions, foreclosures,
auto-repossessions, and utility disconnections. Prior to receiving
assistance, USA Cares requires
each veteran to complete a free Financial Education &
Empowerment Program. This online course provides budget counseling
to veterans facing financial difficulties to help them reach their
financial goals in the future. All financial assistance is directly
sent to landlords, mortgage lenders, utilities, and other vendors
on behalf of the client.
USA Cares is one of 8 nonprofit
organizations the Union Home Mortgage Foundation has supported this
quarter and is also one of the two new states where the Foundation
has expanded their funding. "Creating economic self-sufficiency for
as many families as possible is our mission, and the most impactful
way we can do that is by collaborating with organizations who
embody that sentiment," said Ashley
Ali, Director of Corporate Communications. "As we grow Union
Home across the country, we hope to grow the Foundation's footprint
in tandem, so we can better support the communities we serve every
day."
Since its inception in 2015, the Foundation has distributed more
than $1 million in financial support
to nonprofits in over 17 states. For more information on the Union
