“The WPCU Sunshine Community Fund’s investment in Northwest Dayton represents our commitment to supporting and revitalizing communities we serve,” said Ivy Glover, Interim Executive Director of the WPCU Sunshine Community Fund. “We are committed to making an impact - through collaboration, strategic funding and financial learning support - to strengthen the stability of the community, while creating a lasting impact on families for generations to come. WPCU's Sunshine Community Fund is committed to helping foster an environment where families are confident, equipped and have access to thriving homeownership options.   When families thrive - in homeownership and overall - communities thrive.” 

Northwest Dayton has faced significant challenges, including unsafe housing conditions, financial strain on residents, declining property values, and years of economic disinvestment. With 71% of residents renting and 43% being cost-burdened*, the need for stable and affordable homeownership opportunities is critical. 

“Wright-Patt Credit Union has helped many in our community achieve their homeownership dreams, and we are proud to support the WPCU Sunshine Community Fund’s work to help more families in Dayton build generational wealth,” said Tim Mislansky, President and CEO of WPCU. “By partnering with community organizations, we are building not just homes, but a strong foundation for the future of Northwest Dayton."
