Entryway is proud to announce a $75,000 grant from First Citizens Bank, expanding the bank’s investment in Entryway’s mission to connect individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness with career opportunities and housing stability.
Building on First Citizens’ inaugural support in 2025, this year’s increased investment expands both the funding and the number of communities served. The grant will provide operating support for Entryway’s workforce development and housing stability services across Arizona (Phoenix), Colorado (Denver), South Carolina (Charleston), and Texas (Austin, Dallas, and Houston).
The grant will support Entryway’s work with individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including veterans, single parents, and low- to moderate-income individuals, by expanding access to career training, employment opportunities in the apartment industry, and housing stability. Through career training, employment opportunities, housing support, and ongoing coaching, Entryway helps participants build the foundation for lasting economic independence while strengthening workforce pipelines for the apartment industry.
“This expanded investment from First Citizens Bank is a powerful vote of confidence in Entryway’s model and the outcomes we are achieving together,” said David Williams, President & CEO of Entryway. “We are honored to continue building this partnership as First Citizens increases its commitment to helping individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness gain the skills, employment opportunities, and housing stability needed to achieve long-term economic independence.”
The grant reflects First Citizens Bank’s continued commitment to strengthening communities by investing in workforce development, economic opportunity, and pathways to greater financial stability.
“We are grateful for First Citizens Bank’s continued partnership and their growing investment in our mission,” Williams added. “Together, we are creating more opportunities for individuals and families to build brighter futures while helping employers meet critical workforce needs.”
Entryway is honored to partner with First Citizens Bank to expand opportunity, strengthen communities, and help more individuals and families build a path toward lasting economic independence.
