Here in Jacksonville, we have a long history of lending a helping hand to our most vulnerable communities. Now more than ever, we’re partnering with organizations to address longstanding economic disparities, particularly related to homelessness and food insecurity, that have grown worse during the health crisis. We’re supporting nonprofits that are providing skills training for the recently incarcerated to help them transition back into the community. And as part of Bank of America’s broader jobs initiative, we’re working with a local community college to help prepare students to enter high-need, high-wage jobs aligned with the skill demands of local employers. What links all our community initiatives is the idea of building the foundation for a successful program and offering the resources nonprofits need for longer-term development.
In coastal Florida, creating a path to economic stability
Jacksonville’s Beaches Emergency Assistant Ministry (BEAM) has been a long-time provider of emergency relief to the nearly one in six local individuals living in poverty. Now, BEAM is expanding its mission to help individuals achieve economic self-sufficiency. Through programs that address workforce development as well as holistic support for single moms, including affordable housing, transportation, and childcare assistance, BEAM aims to address the immediate needs of the community, while also treating the root causes of economic instability.
Racial equality and economic opportunity
At Bank of America, we’re committed to addressing the root causes of inequality through a company-wide commitment to advancing racial equality and economic opportunity across diverse 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 also know we can’t solve these challenges alone, so we’re partnering with other corporations, local nonprofits and community leaders across the country who share our vision for creating meaningful change.
