FRANKLIN ― Franklin Savings Bank recently granted $5,000 to The Home Possible Project to assess and evaluate a potential supportive housing community in Gilford for adults with development disabilities.

“Everyone deserves a safe, supportive place to call home,” said Brian Bozak, president and CEO of Franklin Savings Bank. “We are proud to contribute to The Home Possible Project’s mission to create housing for adults with developmental disabilities. Supporting this project aligns perfectly with our mission to uplift lives and invest in our communities.”

The Home Possible Project creates and provides residential options, services, and support designed to meet the needs of adults with developmental disabilities and similar disabling conditions. They are dedicated to fostering growth and independence through vocational, social and recreational opportunities

"We are deeply grateful to Franklin Savings Bank for this generous $5,000 grant, which brings us another step closer to building our flagship community residence for adults with developmental disabilities in the Lakes Region. This one-level, fully accessible home will feature 12 private studio apartments, each with its own ADA-compliant bathroom and kitchenette, along with inviting common areas such as a shared kitchen and dining room, family room for socialization and friendships, and space for 24/7 staff to provide personalized, person-centered support," said Lisa DiMartino, board chair of The Home Possible Project. "Our goal is to promote independence, foster a true sense of belonging, and create a warm, inclusive environment where residents can thrive. Franklin Savings Bank’s support is an investment in a stronger, more compassionate community, and we are honored to have them as a partner in this important work."
