KeyBank of Northern Indiana has donated $150,000 to support the South Bend Center for the Homeless.

The donation will support the new NEXT program, or Neighbors Excelling as Tenants. The Center says the 10- to 12-week program will help their clients transition back to a more normal situation, and learn what it means to be a tenant.

The Center has served more than 65 thousand people since opening in 1988, and expect about 40 people to benefit from the program this year.
