1st Capital Bank Helps Keep Families and Seniors Safe
MONTEREY, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 23, 2014) - Thanks to 1st
Capital Bank ("Bank") (OTCQB: FISB), residents of the Las Casas De
Madera family housing development, the Los Abuelitos senior
apartments, and the La Gloria senior apartments in Salinas,
California will live in a safer and even more secure
environment. The Bank recently teamed with the Senior Housing
Crime Prevention Foundation, Inc. ("SHCPF") to help protect those
families and seniors by funding the Senior Crimestoppers
program for residents of 150 housing units in East Salinas.
The SHCPF is a national organization that serves as a conduit
for banks to help fulfill their federally mandated Community
Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requirements through providing aid to low
and moderate income individuals in their local community. The
Foundation's mission is to provide safe and secure living
environments for our nation's families and senior nursing home
residents, many of whom are low and moderate income individuals,
through the operation of the nationally-acclaimed Senior
Crimestoppers program.
Crime against the elderly in our society is a longstanding,
constant battle that can be reduced and prevented through the
operation of the Senior Crimestoppers program in nursing
homes and assisted living facilities. Senior
Crimestoppers is a coordinated set of components that work
together to create a zero tolerance to crime platform in senior
housing facilities. Components include personal lockboxes for the
residents, cash rewards up to $1,000 paid anonymously for
information about wrongdoing of any kind, and effective, on-going
education and training for staff members and residents. Senior
Crimestoppers has historically reduced all aspects of crime in
participating facilities by 92%. SHCPF also provides a similar
program for residents of federal Section 8 and comparable low
income housing.
"Senior Crimestoppers is a way for an administrator to further
enhance the lives of the residents they serve. They all work
very hard to provide safe, secure, comfortable living environments
and their desire to implement the program is just one more example
of this. Implementing this program does not mean that the
facility currently has a crime problem, but rather that the
administrator is proactively finding a way to keep problems from
occurring in the future," said Terry Rooker, President of
Senior Crimestoppers.
Mark Andino, the Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated: "We are very pleased to contribute to improving the quality
of life for our local families and seniors. I have enjoyed
working with the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation over
the years, and welcomed the opportunity for 1st Capital Bank to
again team with that organization. We look forward to a
longstanding relationship with Las Casas De Madera, Los Abuelitos,
and La Gloria, which collectively serve about 200 residents in the
center of our market area. The management of the facilities
was immediately enthusiastic when informed of the potential to
benefit from the Senior Crimestoppers program and partner
with 1st Capital Bank."
The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation, Inc., and 1st
Capital Bank will be holding a charter presentation at Las Casas De
Madera on Wednesday January 29 at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. Las
Casas De Madera is located at 510 East Market Street, Salinas, CA
93905. A similar presentation will be held at Los Abuelitos
(528 East Market Street) at 1:30 PM Pacific Time the same
afternoon. Members of the media and the public are welcome to
attend.
