"For more than 100 years, Columbus Urban League has helped improve the lives of thousands of people across Central Ohio and is a major advocate for systemic change," said Lara DeLeone, KeyBank's Central Ohio Market President. "We are thrilled to support CUL, and the Housing Accelerator Program, to promote safe, quality and affordable housing for the individuals and families they serve. The wrap-around services CUL provides are vital for understanding and building a stable financial future."
KeyBank俄亥俄州中部市場總裁拉拉·德萊昂表示：“100多年來，哥倫布城市聯盟幫助改善了俄亥俄州中部成千上萬人的生活，並且是系統性變革的主要倡導者。”“我們很高興支持CUL和住房加速器計劃，爲他們所服務的個人和家庭推廣安全、優質和負擔得起的住房。CUL提供的全方位服務對於理解和建立穩定的財務未來至關重要。”
"The HAP is the next solution in response to the recovery from the devastating impact of the pandemic," said Jeaneen Hooks, Vice President of Programming at CUL. "COVID-19 exacerbated affordable housing issues that predated the pandemic and that still has deep disparities that threaten the strength of an economic recovery which must work for everyone. With this transformational investment from KeyBank, we can maximize the impact of this short-term intervention to provide mid-term financial independence and long-term self-sufficiency."
