Ledyard Bank is proud to support the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund with a $20,000 donation made through the purchase of tax credits awarded to them by the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA). This initiative aligns with Ledyard Bank’s mission to give back to our communities throughout New Hampshire.
“Our donation will help families with low incomes purchase energy-efficient manufactured homes—providing not just shelter, but long-term financial stability and healthier living environments. We believe that every family deserves the opportunity to thrive, and this partnership is a meaningful step toward building stronger, more resilient communities across New Hampshire.” said Jeff Marks, Chief Marketing Officer at Ledyard Bank.
"Thanks to Ledyard Bank’s support, more families with low incomes will have the opportunity to buy safe, affordable manufactured homes in New Hampshire and realize their dream of homeownership,” said Katie McQuaid, Community Loan Fund Senior Vice President of Philanthropy & Community Engagement.
New Hampshire is currently facing a housing crisis, with an estimated need for nearly 60,000 new housing units by 2030. Of those, only 40,000 are projected to be available for purchase. Manufactured housing remains the most affordable option for many residents. Donations like Ledyard Bank’s enable the Loan Fund to offer downpayment and closing cost assistance.
