Today I participated in the Ghoulish Gallop for a great cause! Work up a sweat and help someone buy their first home. That sounds like a 'win, win' to me :)
Benefit: The South Central Wisconsin Housing Foundation
The REALTORS® Association of South Central Wisconsin Housing Foundation is a non-profit organization under the IRS code 501(c)(3). Created in 1989, the purpose of the Foundation is to increase and improve the supply of affordable housing in Dane, Columbia, Dodge, Jefferson, Rock, Green, Iowa and Sauk counties by providing down payment assistance in the form of low interest loans to individuals and families.
The other equally important aspect of our program is the money we lend to organizations such as Operation Fresh Start and Habitat for Humanity. We assist with the initial financing of the homes to be renovated or constructed. When these homes are sold to families who cannot afford to be in the general housing market, the money is returned to us to await the next request.
In the 17 years of our existence the Foundation has given out over one million dollars in loans: $620,000 for individual loans, helping more than 180 families to successfully purchase homes in South Central Wisconsin and $750,000 to organizations to help with their affordable housing projects.
The REALTORS® Association of South Central Wisconsin Housing Foundation - building a foundation for affordable housing in South Central Wisconsin.
All proceeds from this Event will go to the Housing Foundation and provide area residents with the resources to achieve their dream of home ownership.
