On a city-wide basis, NWAK launched “Paint the Town” project, involving over 700 volunteers in a week-long event that painted the homes of some 70 plus individuals in need of assistance! This was a signature event for NWAK for decades, serving hundreds of residents through the service of thousands of volunteers through business sponsorship.
At this point, for every dollar that NWAK had invested, an additional $33 in public and private funds was leveraged and reinvested!
NWAK received a commitment of $4 million as private social investment dollars to purchase commercial loans. This commitment was from investors associated with Neighborhood Housing Services of America, a secondary market for NeighborWorks loans.
