Let’s build something together
We continue to tackle socioeconomic, educational and health challenges in our communities head on with relevant and timely solutions. Our neighbors and our communities, where we live and work, are a top priority for all of us at Bank of America. We are helping to open new doors for low-income families by providing affordable housing opportunities. Additionally, we are helping Mohawk Valley Health System to build a new hospital in Utica that will provide long-term opportunities for economic mobility as well as advances in health care.
Supporting economic opportunity for diverse people & communities
At Bank of America, we have a long-standing commitment to support economic opportunity for diverse people and communities. We are doing this by building upon our existing efforts and leveraging our strengths: creating more affordable housing and expanding home ownership, increasing lending and support to minority-owned small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We continue to focus on working collaboratively across sectors to advance opportunities that will create real impact in the lives of individuals and for the communities we serve, using the past to inform our perspective and understanding as we tackle barriers within our communities.
Creating access to jobs
To help create jobs and fuel economic opportunity, we're partnering with local organizations and other companies to help people get the skills they need and build a growing pipeline of talent for jobs of the future.
