Building stronger
Communities inn
New York City
Bank of America is helping to meet the need for more affordable housing in neighborhoods
across the country. Through Community Development Banking, we re deepening our
commitment to create more communities for people to call home.

In 2020, we committed $5.87 billion for affordable housing and economic development
financing. resulting in over 13,000 housing units for people and families in need- many
of which were constructed by diverse developers. That includes over $314 million to create
approximately 550 housing units right here in New York City.
Inaddition, we're joining Enterprise Community Partners to invest $60 million in capital to
support minority developers and their work to build inclusive communities.
My teammates and remain dedicated to helping more people find a place to live they can
