The TD Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of TD Bank, announced a significant investment in New Jersey’s housing stability, awarding $1.5 million to six local nonprofit organizations.
The funding is part of a larger $10 million national initiative through the 20th annual Housing for Everyone grant program. To celebrate the program’s two-decade milestone, this year’s grantees will each receive $250,000, the largest individual award amount in the history of the program.
The 2026 grant cycle specifically targeted organizations utilizing proactive eviction prevention strategies. As New Jersey residents face rising living costs and sudden income loss, these grants aim to provide a safety net before housing instability turns into a crisis.
“Housing instability touches so many lives and has far-reaching economic impacts,” Paige Carlson-Heim, head of Social Impact at TD and director of the TD Charitable Foundation said. “We are so proud to support these nonprofits that are helping prevent eviction before it becomes a crisis.”
The six New Jersey recipients represent a broad geographic reach across the state, from the northern metro areas to the southern coast:
- Bright Harbor Healthcare (Ocean County)
- Greater Bergen Community Action, Inc. (Bergen County)
- Hispanic Family Centre of Southern New Jersey, Inc. (Camden County)
- New Jersey Citizen Action Education Fund, Inc. (Essex County)
- United Community Corporation (Essex County)
- York Street Project (Hudson County)
Since its inception in 2005, the Housing for Everyone program has grown from a small local initiative into one of TD’s most significant philanthropic pillars. Over the last 20 years, the foundation has awarded more than $73 million to over 675 affordable housing initiatives across the bank’s footprint, which stretches from Maine to Florida.
The foundation’s strategy emphasizes that maintaining housing continuity not only reduces financial stress for individual families but also contributes to the long-term economic vitality and stability of entire neighborhoods.
