Through our partners at Genesis Community Loan Fund, the John T. Gorman Foundation has made an impact investment to help fund the purchase of the Cedar Falls Mobile Home Park by its residents in Bangor. This exciting project preserves 130 units of affordable housing while creating new home ownership opportunities for participants of BangorHousing’s Moving Families Forward program. “Safe, stable housing is fundamental to family well-being – providing not just a secure home, but a foundation for building long-term economic security that can benefit multiple generations,” said John T. Gorman Foundation President & CEO Nicole Witherbee. “At a time when Maine families face unprecedented housing challenges, the John T. Gorman Foundation is proud to support this innovative partnership to preserve existing homes in the Cedar Falls community while creating new opportunities for Bangor families to access home ownership.” Read more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/ef35qiZV
