Exton, PA – July 15, 2021 – The Union Home Mortgage Foundation, a charitable organization whose mission is to equip families with the tools and resources to achieve economic self-sufficiency, today announced it is giving back by donating $5,000 to Home of the Sparrow.
Home of the Sparrow is a non-profit organization committed to supporting women who are facing homelessness by helping them secure housing, achieve long-term stability and chart new paths for their futures.
Funding from the Union Home Mortgage Foundation will support Home of the Sparrow’s eviction prevention services for over 1,000 women and mothers annually in Chester County through financial literacy, access to trauma services, emergency funds, employment resources and more.
“We believe in the right to responsible homeownership for all individuals. Organizations like Home of the Sparrow are taking the steps to make this dream a reality for women throughout Chester County,” said Bill Cosgrove, President & CEO of Union Home Mortgage and Chairman of the Foundation. “Empowering women to take charge of their housing finances is a fundamental building block for a lifetime of success and security.”
"We are so thankful for the continued kindness and generosity of our friends at Union Home Mortgage Foundation,” said Kathleen Sanger, Director of Development at Home of the Sparrow. “This grant enables our case managers to say ‘yes’ when a woman or a mother asks for assistance. Perhaps it is helping to pay rent or a utility bill or to help cover the cost of therapy to address trauma. On behalf of all of us at Home of the Sparrow, we appreciate Union Home Mortgage’s partnership to help make housing stability a reality for so many low-income women in Chester County."
Home of the Sparrow is one of 16 non-profit organizations Union Home Mortgage Foundation has supported so far this year.
The Union Home Mortgage Foundation was established in 2015 to help equip individuals and families with the tools and resources to achieve economic self-sufficiency, specifically through education, career readiness, financial literacy and housing. Together with the nonprofit partners it supports, the foundation helps provide access to these resources so that families may ultimately achieve the dream of homeownership.
