DAAR: The Durango Area Association of Realtors donated $40,000 to seven non-profits, a $10,000 increase from 2005. The organizations receiving funding included; La Plata County Community Development Corporation, Southwest Center for Independence, Habitat for Humanity, Volunteers of America-Durango Community Shelter, Mercy Housing Colorado, Housing Solutions for the Southwest and Colorado Housing, Inc.
This money will help with new building projects as well as supporting low-cost rental units and helping families in need of emergency housing.
The Colorado Association of Realtors Housing Opportunity Foundation donated $639,000 this year to various housing organizations across the state. Grants ranging from $385 to $100,000 were distributed to 85 agencies, and the funding will support homeless programs, crisis shelters, construction of affordable housing, down-payment assistance and more.
It feels good to be involved in an industry that not only recognizes the needs of the communities we serve but is also willing to contribute both time and assets to those in who need assistance.
