Rockland Trust has provided over $13 million in financing to MAB Community Services for the purchase of 16 group homes throughout MA. The homes have been leased to house individuals MAB has served for as long as 18 years.

MAB has a long-standing commitment of transforming the lives of those with disabilities, and the transaction will enable MAB to control the costs associated with the vital services it delivers to its 80 residents.

“By financing the purchase of these houses, Rockland Trust is allowing MAB to stabilize the housing of more than 80 individuals with intellectual disabilities and brain injuries,” said Barbara Salisbury, CEO at MAB Community Services. “This is about allowing vulnerable people to remain in their homes; it’s more than a real estate transaction.”

“As a community-oriented bank, Rockland Trust is always looking for opportunities to invest in the neighborhoods we serve,” said David Lawson, VP, commercial loan officer at Rockland Trust. “We are honored to partner with MAB, financing this critical transaction which supports their mission and aids their ability to create opportunities for individuals with disabilities throughout our community.”
