Sanibel Captiva Community Bank is pleased to announce its underwriting support for Community Housing and Resources’ 2025 annual report, helping to ensure the continued visibility and advancement of affordable housing initiatives on Sanibel.

We are proud to help share their story and support the mission that keeps Sanibel sustainable and inclusive.”
This underwriting partnership reflects the bank’s long-standing commitment to reinvesting locally and supporting organizations that address essential community needs. As Sanibel continues rebuilding and strengthening its workforce housing infrastructure, CHR’s work remains critical to preserving the island’s economic stability and quality of life.
