The Trenton Neighborhood Initiative

Investing in Our Home

For more than 125 years, Trenton, NJ, has been a home to Capital Health. And as the leading hospital network in and around the city, we recognize that our responsibility to its communities extends far beyond the walls of our emergency rooms and medical offices.

That’s why, in 2021, we launched the Trenton Neighborhood Initiative: a five-year, $10-million effort that seeks to make a meaningful impact on our local neighborhoods in the area. Working hand –in hand with residents and key stakeholders in the region, this initiative is built to promote lasting change in our Trenton communities and better support the broader health and well-being of the people who live there.

About TNI

In addition to our foundational investment of $1 million, we’ve launched an ambitious campaign seeking philanthropic support from valued corporate partners, friends, and neighbors to help meet our TNI commitment of $10 million.

With the funds collected, as well as the time and resources that are continuously donated to the cause, the Trenton Neighborhood Initiative will work to meet the needs of individuals and families across the area, with a focus on supporting Trenton residents as they LIVE, WORK, GROW, AND CONNECT.

Here’s exactly what each of those strategic program pillars work to accomplish:

Homebuyer Assistance Program: Financial assistance to help people buy homes in Trenton
Home Improvement Program: Financial assistance for homeowners and landlords in the TNI area to make home improvements
