Comenity Bank and Bread Financial® amplify community partnership with Homeport

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Dec. 6, 2023) — Comenity Bank, a subsidiary of Bread Financial™, today announced it has granted $390,000 to Homeport, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating strong communities by developing quality, affordable homes on a cornerstone of dignity, security and opportunity. This grant is in addition to a previous $1.5 million long-term investment by the bank and will support Homeport’s affordable housing initiatives in Central Ohio.

Homeport provided assistance to nearly 8,000 people in 2022, with children or seniors making up more than half of that number. It is committed to closing the housing gap for low-to-moderate income individuals, families and seniors with the funds from Comenity Bank allowing Homeport to continue the development of Easton Place Homes in the Easton area and Mulby Place in Downtown Linden. 

“Comenity Bank and Bread Financial understand a key component of a family's overall financial well-being starts with stable and affordable housing,” said Baron Schlachter, president of Comenity Bank. “We’re proud to continue our partnership with Homeport and place an emphasis on helping those in need find housing that creates stability and a lasting impact.”
