Tri Counties Bank announced today, in conjunction with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBank San Francisco), a combined $200,000 donation to promote Black homeownership as part of the FHLBank San Francisco’s Empowering Black Homeownership matching grant program.

FHLBank San Francisco launched the matching grant program in 2022 to advance racial equity in homeownership and narrow the Black homeownership and wealth gaps. As a member financial institution, Tri Counties Bank can request dollar-for-dollar matching grants, up to a total matching amount of $125,000, for donations to approved housing counseling agencies.

This year, FHLBank San Francisco awarded a three-to-one match to Tri Counties Bank’s donation, resulting in two $100,000 donations, one to the Greater Sacramento Urban League (GSUL) and the other to Self-Help Enterprises (SHE).

“These funds will help ensure the continuation of our HUD-approved Housing Counseling Program, which we offer to the Greater Sacramento Community at no cost,” said Dwayne Crenshaw, J.D., President and CEO of GSUL. “Our program restores hope to families through personalized counseling in areas such as homelessness, rental topics, first-time home buyer, and foreclosure prevention.”

“The San Joaquin Valley has among the highest poverty rates in the State of California,” said Tom Collishaw, President and CEO of SHE. “This grant will help to further promote our Mutual Self-Help Housing Program, and other homebuying opportunities to our Black neighbors throughout the Valley.”
