Education Partnership
NID-HCA Helps NJ & Lehigh Valley Residents Through All Phases of the
Homeownership Cycle
CLINTON, N.J. (March 22, 2022) – For the second year in a row, Unity Bank has donated $5,000 to the NID Housing Counseling Agency (NID-HCA), a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved national network of housing counselors and community-development consultants with offices in Plainfield and Allentown, Pa. Unity is partnering with the agency to supplement the bank’s Low-Moderate Income Mortgage Program.
“The bank’s generous donation will support NID-HCA educational programs for underserved communities in New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley,” said NID-HCA Branch Manager Maurice Muhammad. “We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Unity Bank to provide important assistance to those in need and the community. Together we are delivering programs that advance our mission to develop and implement urban affordable housing as well as urban community development.”
“Our community bank has offered affordable housing and first-time home buyer loan programs for many years,” said Vincent Geraci, Unity Bank First Senior Vice President and Director of Mortgage Lending. “Working with the NID Housing Counseling Agency opens up new opportunities for people in the community. Many residents are unaware of the housing funding options that may be available so our collaboration with the agency is an important community outreach effort.”
