Insight Credit Union Community Foundation awards Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County grant funding

The Insight Credit Union Community Foundation recently awarded Habitat for Humanity of Citrus County a $1,000 grant, believing HFHCC’s and Insight Community Foundation’s visions align with each other.

“Thank you for allowing Insight Community Foundation the opportunity to support such a worthy cause,” exclaimed Cyndi Jones, chairman of Insight Community Foundation Inc.

The grant funding provided by the Insight Community Foundation will be used toward its Vital Community Housing and Stability Initiatives, which includes homeowner education and financial literacy classes for successful homeownership after family partners complete the HFHCC Home Ownership program.

Additional classes available to them include mental health awareness, how to be a good neighbor, security and safety protocols.

“Homebuyer education is a very intricate part of our program and we couldn’t do it without community partners like Insight Community Foundation,” said Christine Erick, HFHCC’s Family Services Director.

Habitat for Humanity offers a “hand up,” not a “hand out” to income-qualified families who are unable to secure conventional financing but are willing to work hard to improve their family’s lives.

Key initiatives include empowering these partner families through education, resources and support to successfully achieve their personal, academic and professional goals; teaching partner families the skills and attitudes needed to make positive life choices.
