As Upstate South Carolina’s president, I am proud of the work we have done to help people succeed by offering financial know-how, stimulating economic opportunity and addressing racial inequalities. Bank of America is dedicated to connecting individuals and businesses to resources that make their financial lives better. We're also working to strengthen economic mobility and build strong communities in the areas of workforce development, small business and affordable housing. We support businesses with a talent pipeline and deliver coaching to help emerging businesses thrive. We fund programs for individuals to learn and reduce barriers to education and training, leading to more opportunities for sustainable careers. To help build wealth through homeownership, we partner to make more affordable homes available. And during the health crisis, we've taken swift action to support the most vulnerable in our communities by providing the homeless with masks and other critical needs.
In South Carolina, nearly one-quarter of formerly incarcerated men are back in prison within three years. Soteria Community Development Corporation (CDC) in Greenville aims to stop that by supporting the recently released with transitional housing, job training and life-skills assistance.
At Bank of America, we have a long-standing commitment to support economic opportunity for 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 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.
At Bank of America, we believe in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding. That’s why we’re helping the arts flourish in communities across the globe.
