The OceanFirst Bank sponsored Senior Crimestoppers Charter Presentation will be held at 2:15 p.m. on Feb. 7 at the Holiday Care Center, 4 Plaza Drive, Toms River. By recently joining CRA Partners, OceanFirst Bank is helping protect those seniors by funding a Senior Crimestoppers program.
Senior Crimestoppers is a coordinated set of components that work in unison to create a zero tolerance of crime platform within senior housing facilities. Components include cash rewards up to $1,000 paid anonymously for information about wrongdoing of any kind, personal lockboxes for the residents and effective, on-going education and training for staff members and residents. Senior Crimestoppers has reduced all aspects of crime by 94% in participating facilities.
CRA Partners, powered by the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation, is a national organization that guarantees banks federally mandated CRA credit through the operation of the turn-key Senior Crimestoppers program providing safe and secure living environments for our nation’s low to moderate income seniors. Through flexible funding options such as CRA-qualified community development loans, investments or grants, banks provide the program in senior housing facilities, HUD communities and state Veterans homes while garnering positive public relations exposure in their communities.
