“We are thrilled to receive this award from the Walmart Foundation,” said SNHS Executive Director Cheryl Meadows. “The funds provided will support all of our counseling activities, help broaden our marketing efforts and help us serve the clients of SNHS in a more efficient manner. Whether you want to become a homeowner or you’re already a homeowner that may be facing foreclosure, SNHS offers a safe, no pressure atmosphere where clients can obtain the information they need to be successful.”
As the country's mortgage crisis continues to place area homeowners at risk, SNHS offers immediate assistance through a series of strategies and programs. SNHS has developed a comprehensive response to the foreclosure crisis that includes community education, outreach to at-risk homeowners, foreclosure mitigation counseling services and strategic partnerships.
“The Walmart Foundation is committed to providing opportunities for individuals to live a quality life, and we understand that organizations like Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services are helping to build stronger communities by supporting the individuals within it,” said Walmart Director of Public Affairs Jennifer Hoehn. “We’re pleased that Salisbury Neighborhood Housing Services members and participants will be positively impacted by this grant and that a population whose needs are often overlooked due to budgetary constraints will be helped.”
