Neighborhood Program
Transforming disinvested neighborhoods through place-based economic development.
Partnering in Our Communities
Fifth Third works with public, private and community partners to identify areas within our Consumer Bank footprint that have been historically disinvested or are economically disadvantaged. We then meet with residents to assemble and concentrate all our resources—intellectual, social and financial—to cause a positive ripple effect that leads to:
- Business corridor revitalization
- Small business growth
- Affordable housing
- Financial and workforce education and development
- Healthy, safe spaces
Together, we are addressing the housing crisis, revitalizing business corridors, helping small businesses grow, broadening financial access and inclusion, developing workforces and creating healthy, safe spaces. We have stacked hands with our communities to accomplish great things. Our focus is ultimately on creating economic mobility for all.
