The FDIC has been a strong supporter of the Foundation and the Senior Crimestoppers program. Banks are responsible community leaders and are crucial to the well being of our neighborhoods. The Foundation program is a good example of what can be done when banks focus attention on neighborhood problems. I would like to commend you all for your participation.
– Martin Gruenberg, Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
There is no question that the Foundation and its supporters are making a difference in the lives of low and moderate income seniors and Veterans who are in nursing homes. I want to thank the banking industry for supporting their work and in the process, improving the lives of many and the communities in which they live.
– Timothy Burniston, Senior Associate Director of the Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, Federal Reserve Bank, Washington, DC
The OCC has a long history of supporting the mission of the Foundation, to provide crime prevention services to low and moderate income seniors in nursing home facilities and has continued to demonstrate the support for the program by providing positive CRA consideration for the loans and investments banks make in the Foundation.
– Grovetta Gardineer, Deputy Comptroller for Compliance Policy, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
It is a pleasure to be affiliated with the Foundation whose mission is to provide safe and secure living environments to our nation’s seniors. I appreciate the regulatory agencies recognizing the value of the Foundation’s work and choosing to recognize loans and investments in the Foundation vie for CRA credit.
– John Reich, SHCPF Board Member and Former Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision
Looking at the fantastic accomplishments of the Foundation, I feel very humble about any contribution I might have made at the outset at the Foundation’s life. It was the wonderful staff of the OCC who responded to the obvious merits of this program, who really deserve the credit for getting things going.
– John D. "Jerry" Hawke, Former Comptroller of the Currency
