Cornerstone Bank today announced a $10,000 donation to RCAP Solutions, Inc., in Worcester to support staffing at its Housing Consumer Education Center (HCEC) following state funding cuts that have reduced access to free housing counseling services across Worcester County.
HCEC is a proven, no-cost resource that helps individuals and families stabilize their housing through one-on-one counseling, financial education, sustainable spending classes and pre- and post-homebuyer support. Recent reductions in state funding have limited staff capacity at a time when demand for housing guidance continues to grow, placing low-income residents at greater risk of housing instability.
“Stable housing is the foundation of strong families and healthy communities,” said Todd Tallman, CEO of Cornerstone Bank. “With state funding cuts putting essential counseling services at risk, we felt it was important to step up and support RCAP Solutions’ Housing Consumer Education Center so they can continue helping Worcester County residents stay housed, informed and financially resilient.”
Cornerstone Bank’s contribution will help RCAP Solutions retain skilled HCEC staff so they can continue assisting individuals and families in navigating the housing market, addressing financial challenges and maintaining stable housing.
“Cornerstone Bank’s support will make a meaningful difference for the individuals and families we serve,” said Brian D. Scales, President & CEO of RCAP Solutions. “This funding strengthens our Housing Consumer Education Center’s ability to provide essential counseling and guidance at a time when many in our community are facing growing challenges. We are deeply grateful for Cornerstone Bank’s commitment to helping local families find stability and a path forward.”
