We are grateful to Bank of America for awarding $20,000 to our empowerment programs.

Because of the grant, the Urban League of Palm Beach County (ULPBC) is able to offer housing and financial programs to help disadvantaged individuals and families in our community.

Specifically, ULPBC is a HUD approved Housing Counseling Agency addressing housing needs for low- and moderate-income clients in Palm Beach County by providing a variety of services and strategies to help families access and maintain affordable, safe and decent housing.

“Our entire community is thankful to Bank of America for their support of our programming which is helping so many people climb out of poverty,” said Patrick Franklin, President and CEO of the Urban League of Palm Beach County.

Community Impact

We’ve been serving individuals and families in low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities since we were founded. Today, one third of our financial centers are in LMI areas where we continue to connect our clients and communities to the tailored resources, jobs, capital and partners they need to succeed. Their success contributes toward our neighborhoods growing stronger as a whole.

Every day, our work begins with a question, to our clients, neighbors, co-workers and partners: what would you like the power to do? Whether that’s own a home, start a business, build savings and credit, secure a job or make a difference in the community, we’re helping connect our communities with what they need to achieve their goals.
