GREENVILLE, S.C. – June 16, 2022 – In celebration of American Housing Month, the United Community Bank Foundation is proud to announce a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity affiliates across its footprint that will both support the cost of local builds and provide local United Community Bank team members with the opportunity to volunteer on a build in their area. The Foundation will kick off this partnership with a build in Wake County, North Carolina on July 1 and in Atlanta, Georgia on July 23. Other United builds are planned for South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida this fall, for seven homes in 2022.

“Supporting housing strategies and the path to affordable homeownership is a core pillar of the United Community Bank Foundation,” said Moryah Jackson, VP of Community Development and Engagement. “Our team is passionate about investing in our communities and helping our customers reach their housing goals from a lending perspective. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity lets us go one step further and directly contribute toward families’ homeownership dream in our own communities.”
