Lincolnwood, Illinois-based URB, inc.president Brian Urbanowski's presentation of a house key to United Relief Foundation's president Frank Salato signified Mr. Urbanowski's long-term commitment to donating his company's resources as a United Relief Foundation United In Service Home Sweet Home Patron.
The significance of Mr. Urbanowski's charitable commitment is that it has allowed the United Relief Foundation to start to advance Home Sweet Home Lifeline Affordable Homeownership and Shared Homes for Veterans engagement without drawing resources from the Foundation's other initiatives.
"Despite the importance of housing assistance, veterans face significant obstacles, with the lack of affordable housing as one of the most critical challenges," states Frank Salato. "Mr. Urbanowski's good deed will make tangible, lasting differences in the lives of the veterans we serve by helping to overcome the affordable housing obstacles they face."
With decades of real estate experience and expertise, Mr. Urbanowski and his company were instrumental in the United Relief Foundation's 348 Home Sweet Home project to turn an in-need-of-repair house into a safe, comfortable, affordable home for a veteran to own.
Over the past 37 years of doing business in Chicago, Brian Urbanowski has been charitable to numerous nonprofit organizations. This year, he also provides a practical path for philanthropic people to connect with charitable causes.
