Veterans are twice as likely to become homeless than other Americans. Often they need long-term services to help them combat mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse and other physical or emotional disorders.

We’re proud to support the Commons at Garden Lake, a 75-unit, permanent supportive housing community in Toledo for veterans. We helped finance the $12.5 million project, and contributed $1.75 million as a community development investment.

National Church Residences will develop, own and manage the community.

Permanent supportive housing provides its residents with a safe, affordable place to live, and on-site health and social services. The end result is a higher level of self-sufficiency, financial strength and improved mental and physical health for these veterans.

Having a solid background in basic money management can make a huge difference in the financial stability of lower income families. Five of our colleagues were trained by United Way of Greater Toledo to facilitate the FDIC Money Smart financial education series.

Weekly, hour-long workshops were conducted for five weeks at several United Way agencies in the market. The Money Smart curriculum includes topics such as choosing and maintaining a checking account, spending plans, the importance of saving, how to obtain and use credit effectively and the basics of building or repairing credit.

Junior Achievement, founded in 1919, is the world’s largest organization dedicated to teaching school kids about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy. Through Huntington’s partnership with JA, more than 35 of our colleagues participated in Junior Achievement’s “JA in a Day” program at Oakdale Elementary School, part of Toledo City Schools, and Greenwood Elementary School in the Washington Local School District.         Junior Achievement BizTown® is a registered trademark of Junior Achievement USA and JA Worldwide.

The program covers the entire JA elementary-level curriculum in one school day. Instruction prepares young people for the challenges of the real world by showing them how to make money and effectively manage it, create jobs and think like an entrepreneur.
