Brief History of Our Relationship With NASVH

• The Senior Crimestoppers program began in 2000
  and is administered by the Senior Housing Crime
  Prevention Foundation, a 501(c) 3 charitable

  launched a national initiative to solicit funding
  (through CRA loans/investments) to provide our

  every bank meeting we attend.
