December 2024 – First Citizens Community Bank (FCCB) is committed to supporting affordable housing development in Philadelphia’s Brewerytown and Sharswood neighborhoods. This initiative reflects the bank’s dedication to strengthening communities and creating opportunities for residents.

Rod Ward, FCCB's VP, Relationship Manager for the Delaware region, facilitated the financial support for this project through two construction loans, enabling the development of 69 homes in two phases.

The first phase, consisting of 35 homes, has come to completion. Construction on the second phase, which includes 34 homes, is already well underway. These developments provide much-needed housing in neighborhoods undergoing significant revitalization, helping more families access affordable, quality homes.

"FCCB's mission is deeply rooted in community support," said Ward. "This project demonstrates how strategic partnerships with developers can create lasting, positive change, and it’s exciting to see these homes become a reality for Philadelphia families."

FCCB remains committed to working with organizations and developers who share its vision for responsible growth and sustainable community development.

Based in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, FCCB operates 39 community offices strategically positioned across Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and New Jersey.
