Bank of the SierraBank of the Sierra has awarded Fresno Urban Neighborhood Development, (FUND) Inc. a grant in the amount of $2,500 to help it continue restoring neighborhoods in Fresno that have been hit hard by the economic downturn.

The Sierra Grant will be used specifically for building materials necessary to help qualified families of the Lowell Neighborhood improve their living conditions, said a statement released by the bank today.

“We are happy to make a contribution to Fresno Urban Neighborhood Development Inc.,” said James C. Holly, the bank’s president and CEO. “This program plays an important role in our community and is highly regarded at Bank of the Sierra.”

Some of the homes in The Lowell Neighborhood, just north of Downtown Fresno, were purchased by the Fresno Redevelopment Agency using federal and city funds. The City of Fresno unveiled two of the rehabbed homes on Monday morning, which are now for sale.
