Hello New Employee Benefit for Housing Works staff (and their families)! The People Ops team couldn't be more excited to add this incredibly impactful Student Loan Benefit to our current roster of offerings! Helping employees tackle their student debt is especially meaningful for us, as a Public Health Org that prioritizes social justice and health equity. We recognize that mediating student loan debt is a critical step towards advancing financial equity. On average, Black college graduates owe $25,000 more in student loans than White graduates, and four years after graduation, black students owe an average of 188% more than White students borrowed. Student debt also tends to impact women more than it does men: women hold almost two-thirds of all student debt. Summer is the BEST partner to help us meaningfully move towards better financial health and equity for our team, and I'm so grateful for their amazing work! xx
We’re thrilled to welcome Housing Works to the Summer family! Housing Works is a NYC non-profit organization that provides advocacy, support, and lifesaving services to those impacted by homelessness and HIV/AIDS, and they’re now offering student loan benefits to its employees via Summer’s platform. By easing the financial challenges associated with student loans for their employees, together we’re helping to ensure that Housing Works can continue its crucial mission –– to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain its efforts –– with a fully supported and thriving workforce.
