Congressman Darren Soto presented a check of $500,000 to The Salvation Army of Osceola and Orange County in support of their Pathway to Housing program. The ceremony, held on Tuesday, highlighted the initiative’s goal to help families achieve sustainable homeownership and break the cycle of intergenerational poverty.

The Pathway to Housing program, a local extension of The Salvation Army’s nationwide Pathway of Hope initiative, provides comprehensive case management and outreach services. It focuses on equipping families with the tools needed to achieve homeownership, fostering stability, and creating generational wealth. Congressman Soto’s contribution will further this mission, empowering families across Osceola County to build brighter futures.

The event also recognized the support of Osceola County Commissioners, particularly Peggy Choudhry, Commissioner for District 1, for their ongoing commitment to the success of the Pathway to Housing program.

During the event, Congressman Soto emphasized the importance of the program and the role it plays in helping working families succeed: “This donation is about more than just funding; it’s about giving families the opportunity for sustainable homeownership and financial independence.”
