Synergy Bank Partners with TPCG to Help Disabled Residents Houma, LA,- Several low-income residents with disabilities in Terrebonne Parish now have handicapped accessible accommodations to their home through a generous donation from Synergy Bank to the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government’s (TPCG) Handicap Accessibility Grant Program. Synergy Bank donated $25,000 to the TPCG Department of Housing and Human Services program this year. With the donation, TPCG was able to provide wheelchair ramps and grab bars to several low-income residents in the parish giving them greater accessibility and mobility. Every year the Department of Housing and Human Services receives numerous requests for assistance through the Handicap Accessibility Grant Program. Handicap ramps can range from $2,500 to $4,000 per installation. Each applicant must meet certain criteria set forth by both the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Handicap Accessibility Grant. “Synergy Bank is proud to partner with Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government on the Handicap Accessibility Program,” said Jerry Ledet, Synergy Bank President and Chief Executive Officer. “We understand the challenges that low-income homeowners face and to purchase a handicap accessible ramp is out of the question for many residents. Being able to assist those in need in our community is an honor and privilege.” “This funding allows us to address the needs of our most vulnerable populations, the elderly and disabled. We are thankful to Synergy Bank for their generous donation to assist this group of low-income homeowners in our community,” said Darrel Waire, Director of the Terrebonne Parish Department of Housing and Human Services
