TD Bank Awards Metropolitan Ministries $125,000 Housing Grant

TAMPA, FL — TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, has awarded 30 affordable housing development organizations from Maine to Florida a total of $3.75 million through its Housing for Everyone grant competition.

Among the organizations to receive a grant was Metropolitan Ministries of Tampa, which was awarded $125,000.

Now in its 14th year, the Housing for Everyone competition supports local nonprofits to expand and maintain affordable rental housing for individuals and families.

This year's competition focused on organizations working to refurbish existing housing to create affordable rental units.

"Across the U.S., renters are 25 to 45 percent more financially burdened than homeowners, according to the State of the Nation's 2019 Housing Report," said Paige Carlson-Heim, director of TD Charitable Foundation and Office of Charitable and Community Giving. "This year's Housing for Everyone grant recipients are committed to finding ways to ease that burden by increasing the availability of safe, affordable rental housing. I am excited about the incredible work being done by each of these organizations and look forward to watching them create a pathway to financial stability for individuals and families."
