Lake Trust Donates $63K to Michigan Housing Non-Profits
Lake Trust Credit Union has awarded $63,445 in donations to two Michigan housing non-profit organizations—Capital Area Housing Partnership in Lansing and Habitat for Humanity Barry County in Hastings. The donations were raised in collaboration with Lake Trust members as part of its 2024 Home Loan Giveback Program.
“At Lake Trust, we are committed to supporting organizations that are creating lasting change in the communities we serve,” said Lake Trust CEO David Snodgrass. “By working with us, our members have enabled us to provide vital resources for individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity, supporting their journey toward financial wellbeing, year after year. Together, we are strengthening Michigan’s neighborhoods and ensuring more people have access to safe, affordable housing.”
As part of the Home Loan Giveback Program, Lake Trust donated $100 for every mortgage, refinance or home equity loan that members applied for and later closed on. This year, the program has generated a total of $63,445, which will be distributed between Capital Area Housing Partnership ($40,000) and Habitat for Humanity Barry County ($23,445) to support their housing initiatives.
Capital Area Housing Partnership (CAHP) is dedicated to developing strong, diverse neighborhoods across mid-Michigan through its efforts to build and rehabilitate homes, as well as provide emergency assistance. This donation will directly support CAHP in its mission to expand access to affordable housing, prevent homelessness, and strengthen homeownership opportunities — ultimately helping individuals and families achieve long-term stability.
Habitat for Humanity Barry County is a nonprofit organization building new homes and providing critical repairs for low-income families and residents in Barry County. Lake Trust’s donation will directly contribute to building homes, as well as funding necessary repairs that ensure homes are safe and livable. The contribution will also support Habitat’s ReStores, which provide affordable home goods and fund housing initiatives
Through 2024, Lake Trust members have helped raise $326,403 in total donations to support housing needs across Michigan. These funds have provided essential assistance, including food, shelter and financial education to Michigan individuals and families.
