WESTERLY, R.I., Jan. 30, 2024

Washington Trust also committed $50,000 to Crossroads' "Roads to Home" capital campaign to significantly reduce homelessness by creating nearly 300 affordable permanent supportive apartments for formerly homeless adults in three different buildings in Providence. Crossroads housing vision includes the development of a first-of-its kind health and housing facility for medically vulnerable adults experiencing homelessness.

"Washington Trust is committed to offering and supporting programs that help our neighbors secure safe and affordable housing," said Noons. Adding, "Our employees are also actively engaged and care deeply about their local communities. The 'Welcome Home' kits allowed Washington Trust employees to help their neighbors and Crossroads Rhode Island with their mission."

"We are grateful to partners like Washington Trust for their comprehensive support of Crossroads' programs and services that support the communities we serve." said Laura Calenda, Chief Marketing and Philanthropy Officer. "The generous donation of 'Welcome Home' kits will go far in helping our clients as they settle into their very own apartment."
