Partner Testimonial: First Citizens Bank

First Citizens Bank invests in the programs that help Affordable Homes & Communities (AHC) residents build financial stability and lasting opportunity. This year, the First Citizens gave $26,000 to support AHC’s holistic Resident Services programming, including its growing education services for students and families.

First Citizens also brings its financial expertise directly to AHC communities, with bank staff leading financial education workshops for adult residents and hosting activities for families.

“First Citizens Bank is extraordinarily proud to be a supporter of the great and expansive impact AHC has delivered for 50 years and looks forward to growing our partnership. AHC provides more than affordable housing. Its Resident Services programs empower residents and strengthen the communities they call home. We are especially proud to advance this work by leading financial education workshops for adults and providing ongoing volunteer service, including hosting family activities. We value our continued partnership with AHC and its commitment to creating lasting opportunities for residents and families.”

First Citizens’ team shows up in person, too. When representatives visited AHC to deliver this year’s gift, they stayed to play a few rounds of Connect 4 with AHC students. At Hunter’s Park, an AHC senior community in Arlington, staff led a fraud prevention workshop to help residents protect their finances, then stayed for bingo and pizza.

AHC is proud to welcome First Citizens Bank as a 2026 Benefactor sponsor as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary.
