Realtors Contribute $100,000

The San Luis Obispo Association of Realtors just presented a $100,000 contribution to the Fund.  The money comes from California Association of Realtors' Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) and will be used to finance local affordable housing projects.

"The Realtors' generous grant provides a tremendous boost to the Housing Trust Fund," states Jerry Rioux, the HTF's Executive Director.  "The grant increases our lending capital and will help us leverage more money to finance affordable housing in our community."

The San Luis Obispo Association of Realtors sponsored the Housing Trust Fund’s application for HAF funds. The Atascadero, Paso Robles, Pismo Coast and Scenic Coast Realtor Associations supported the application.

The HAF is a state-wide fund that supports various activities that promote and create affordable housing.  HAF has also provided grants to loan funds in Marin, Monterey and Sacramento counties.  HAF is funded through contributions from individuals Realtors and others in the real estate industry.  You can learn more about HAF at www.carhaf.org.
