INVESTING IN OUR NEIGHBORS

Our mission is to harness the collective giving power of Realtors® and our partners to support our neighbors and improve housing solutions in our community.

When we rally together, we supercharge every dollar to help our neighbors. Our goal this year is to raise $250,000!

It’s time to join us. I’m inviting you to help transition families from homelessness to stable housing. You can volunteer. You can become an ambassador. You can designate a recurring monthly donation. Just $20 can provide essentials for a child. Join the RRAR Realtor® Giving Network to assist our communities and neighbors in need!

INVEST IN HELPING NEIGHBORS IN NEED

Tommy worked as a mechanic for 30 years. His paycheck provided food, a nice apartment, a nice car and some savings for his wife, Shelia, and their family.

Then, a terrible accident left Tommy permanently disabled. When savings ran out, the family scrambled to find housing.

They stayed with family members, in hotels, and were forced to sleep in their car for a night.

“When we slept in the car I think it broke us down,” Shelia said. “We were worried we might lose the kids.”

Finally, their luck turned.

CASA, one of our partner nonprofits, placed the family into a two-bedroom apartment.

“We’ve got an affordable place to live,” said Tommy, who couldn’t stop smiling on the day they moved in.

And the RRAR Realtor® Giving Network provided funding to fully furnish the apartment. Now, this family enjoys all the comforts of home.

This is why we need your help. We can create so many more happy endings through our collective giving power.

Organizing Realtor® giving

As real estate professionals we love helping our clients find a home they love. Right now, many of our neighbors are struggling to afford a home that they can love.

Together, let’s use our collective giving power to fill gaps and services for individuals and families facing homelessness. With funding, we can supercharge the fight to end homelessness.

The RRAR Realtor® Giving Network offers an opportunity for us to give back to the community we live and work within.

Our youth leave foster care with no safety net, support, or savings. The grant we received from the RRAR Realtor® Giving Network gives us the flexibility to serve our clients and act quickly to help them find a safe and stable place to call home.
