Initiatives That Promote Prosperity In The Tré.

In any business, it’s all about relationships. Caldwell states “We have the opportunity to create programs that build awareness and drive change through open dialogue.” Cadence Bank is expanding its services and footprint in the Houston / Third-Ward area. Through partnerships with various organizations, and by working with others across the company, Cadence is striving to create better equity outcomes for the communities they serve and to advocate for change. Some current initiatives include:

Housing: OST/South Union

Another partnership is with Agape Development which opened new homes for lower-income residents in the OST/South Union area. Each of the 88 homes will be available for purchase by local community members. In addition to bringing new affordable housing options to the greater Third Ward, the ministry also provides job training opportunities to members of the community.

Financial Services: Third Ward

Cadence operates a full-service branch in Palm Center that provides residential and commercial loans as well as retail and business banking services designed to meet the financial needs of the community. Services include guidance and support on affordable home loans, quick decision small business loans, and a certified checking product to expand access to safe and affordable financial products and services.
