Bank of America Charitable Foundation Contributes the Final $12,000 towards The Head Family’s Home

Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna recognized Bank of America for a $12,000 contribution that completed the construction of a home for the Head family, who has been living in a hotel after an electrical fire burned their apartment.

The contribution bridged a financial shortfall allowing the construction to proceed. Thanks to Bank of America and other generous contributors, the home was dedicated to Putasha Head and her four teenage children on Nov. 8. Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna raised $36,000 to complete the Head family home.

“We can’t thank Bank of America and the community enough for coming together and supporting this urgent cause. We have moved Putasha and her children into their forever home, just in time for the holidays,” said Executive Director at Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, Karen Blandford.

Bank of America’s ongoing support for Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna has helped connect families to affordable housing.

 “When we heard about the Head family’s situation from our friends at Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna we wanted to help,” said David Millman, Maryland and Baltimore Market President, Bank of America. “It’s part of our broader mission to assist in improving the financial lives of our customers, clients and communities. We hope the Head family enjoys the warmth and protection of their new home.”
