This month's Nuvision Heroes feature spotlights Erma Hood, a remarkable member of our Nuvision family who embodies the spirit of giving. Erma, an 81-year-old widow, recently won $2,000 in our Added Advantage Holiday Cash Giveaway. In an inspiring act of kindness, she chose to use her prize to purchase toys for our Toy Drive, directly impacting the lives of numerous children in our community.

2023 has been a great year for our Added Advantage members. The Added Advantage program is our way of saying thank you, and we can't wait to share more opportunities with you in the coming year. As we wrap up our $21,000 Holiday Cash Giveaway, we're thrilled to share with you this year’s winners.

As we wrap up another year, we at Nuvision Credit Union feel immensely grateful for the opportunity to serve and give back to our communities. It is through the unwavering support and generosity of our members that we are able to make a meaningful difference.

As we look back at 2023, the U.S. housing market grappled with a series of difficult challenges. Key among them were escalating interest rates and persistent inflation, alongside looming concerns of a potential recession. These economic issues pushed mortgage rates near the 8% mark, a significant burden for potential homebuyers.
