Logix Federal Credit Union and its employees are dedicated to giving back to the community. In the last few months, staff supported two Homes 4 Families’ builds for veteran housing, one in North Hollywood – a 12-home community for low-income veteran families, the other in Palmdale – a 56-home CalVet REN (Residential Enriched Neighborhood) for low-income veteran families.
A partner to Homes 4 Families since 2015, Logix has contributed over $40,000 toward three separate veteran communities through employee volunteerism and sponsorships.
“Having family members who have served in the military inspires me to give back,” Woodland Hills Branch Manager Guadalupe Bayardo said. “Housing is a basic need, and to be able to be a part of this Homes 4 Families’ project is so rewarding. I’m proud to work for Logix – they know how important it is to spend our time making a difference.”
The community in North Hollywood is a 12-home Veteran Enriched Neighborhood® (VEN®) that provides affordable homeownership opportunities for low-income veterans and their families. Logix was one of the first teams to get the North Hollywood community started, which is seeking donations and volunteers to help maintain affordability for deserving veterans.
The 56-home VEN® currently under construction in Palmdale is on 10 acres and has single-story units with a number of fully ADA accessible unites, a community garden, playground and is built using holistic sustainability approach to minimize chemical sensitivity and PTSD triggers.
“Logix Federal Credit Union’s support and volunteerism echoes the essence of service and commitment shown by our veterans,” said Donna Deutchman, President & CEO of Homes 4 Families. “We truly appreciate their support in ensuring our nation’s heroes will have a place to call home.”
Homes 4 Families Veteran Enriched Neighborhoods® are veteran communities built with the help of corporate groups and volunteers to bring affordable homeownership and enrichment services to deserving low-income military families. Among these important services are financial literacy and homeownership education, trauma-informed programs, employment assistance, and more.
At Logix, providing superior service to members extends beyond their branches. This is why the credit union supports schools, nonprofits and service organizations that are working so hard to make a difference in the lives of so many in the community. Through charitable giving, event sponsorships and volunteerism, Logix employees understand that lending a hand can create a ripple of change that affects and enriches the entire community.
“My team showed up for the build with enthusiasm,” Palmdale Branch Manager Dominic Burnias said. “They even brought family members with them; one might become a regular volunteer with Homes 4 Families. We’re fortunate to have employees who truly care about giving back. It’s important to them and it’s part of our culture. We take pride in supporting our community.”
Logix and Homes 4 Families employees recognize that safe and affordable homeownership is a huge piece of this puzzle and are proud to work together for the benefit of our heroes. Click here to learn about the WE Build from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 11.
