Hands On Hartford Awarded $250,000 Housing for Everyone Grant from TD Charitable Foundation
Hartford, CT - On April 21, 2026, the TD Charitable Foundation, the giving arm of TD Bank U.S., announced $10 million in grants to 40 nonprofits through its 20th annual Housing for Everyone program, with each organization receiving $250,000. As housing instability continues to affect communities nationwide and in Greater Hartford, Hands On Hartford is honored to be a recipient of this generous grant as a 2026 Housing for Everyone awardee, supporting our efforts to address rising living costs and financial hardship.
“Support from TD Charitable Foundation will empower Hands On Hartford not only to sustain our critical homelessness prevention efforts, but to expand the reach and impact of these essential services across our community,” said Janet P. Bermudez, Executive Director of Hands On Hartford. “We are deeply grateful for this investment and for TD Charitable Foundation’s confidence in our mission to create lasting stability for those we serve.”
“Access to early support can make the difference between stability and displacement for renters facing unexpected financial or personal challenges,” said Paige Carlson-Heim, Head of Social Impact at TD and Director of TD Charitable Foundation. “Through the Housing for Everyone grant program, TD is proud to invest in Hands On Hartford, which provides critical services that help prevent eviction before it becomes a crisis. This work not only supports individual households but also fuels the long‑term resilience of our communities.”
