Through the collaboration of local community bank leaders and our combined financing of $100 million for affordable housing, we believe we will be able to make meaningful headway toward addressing this critical issue throughout our region.

“First Northern Bank is extremely vested in the local communities we serve and has always played a major role in ensuring the vibrancy of those communities. The CRC’s mission is a natural fit for the Bank, and I am honored to be a part of such a vital coalition focused on bringing solutions that will have positive and long-lasting impacts on our region.”
