(Evansville, IN – January 25, 2023) – In conjunction with its mission to help alleviate the shortage of critical
affordable housing for low-and-moderate income families, United Fidelity Bank (“Bank”), announced today that it
financed or developed over $2.7 billion in affordable housing loans and investments in 2022. These loans and
investments made housing available to an estimated 12,000 individuals or families nationwide, much of which were
in markets and states that the Bank already serves.
Donald R. Neel, President and CEO commented, “We are proud of our associates in their efforts to create more
affordable housing in our markets and the country at large. However, there remains much work to do. The gap
between the supply and demand for low-and-moderate income housing has never been wider. United Fidelity will
continue the battle to make housing available and affordable for those that need it the most.” Neel further noted,
“The bank and its holding company recently raised or have commitments for approximately $34 million in new
