Worcester, MA – RCAP Solutions is pleased to announce a generous $10,000 donation from Cornerstone Bank to support our Housing Consumer Education Center (HCEC), a vital resource for individuals and families seeking guidance on housing stability, financial readiness, and homeownership in Central Massachusetts.

HCEC provides no‑cost, one‑on‑one counseling; financial education; sustainable spending classes; and pre‑ and post‑homebuyer support. These services help residents strengthen financial stability, navigate the housing market, and maintain secure, long‑term housing – needs that continue to grow across Worcester County.

“Stable housing is the foundation of strong families and healthy communities,” said Todd Tallman, CEO of Cornerstone Bank. “With state funding cuts putting essential counseling services at risk, we felt it was important to step up and support RCAP Solutions’ Housing Consumer Education Center so they can continue helping Worcester County residents stay housed, informed and financially resilient.”

“Cornerstone Bank’s support will make a meaningful difference for the individuals and families we serve,” said Brian D. Scales, President & CEO of RCAP Solutions. “This funding strengthens our Housing Consumer Education Center’s ability to provide essential counseling and guidance at a time when many in our community are facing growing challenges. We are deeply grateful for Cornerstone Bank’s commitment to helping local families find stability and a path forward.”

Cornerstone Bank’s contribution will directly support the dedicated professionals who deliver these critical programs, enabling RCAP Solutions to serve more families and individuals seeking stability and guidance during periods of financial or housing uncertainty.
