Madisonville, TN — Peoples Bank of East Tennessee continues its commitment to community development through active involvement with Loudon County Habitat for Humanity and its expanding partnership into Monroe County.
At the recent Houses & Hope event, community leaders from housing, healthcare, public service, and community development came together to discuss how housing connects to every part of a thriving region. The conversation highlighted the role housing plays in workforce stability, education, and long-term community growth across Loudon and Monroe Counties.
Jeremy Callais, President of Peoples Bank of East Tennessee, participated in the housing panel, contributing a local and practical perspective shaped by the bank’s ongoing work with individuals, families, and businesses throughout the region.
This was an important and meaningful conversation for our community. Housing is closely tied to many aspects of daily life, and it takes strong partnerships and shared insight to continue moving our communities forward.
The event also underscored the growing partnership between Loudon County Habitat for Humanity and Monroe County, expanding the organization’s reach and impact across the region.
Further strengthening this connection, James Hahn, SVP Senior Commercial Lender at Peoples Bank of East Tennessee, was recently inducted onto the Loudon County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors.
