Resources for Local REALTOR® Associations:
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund (H.A.F.) receives donations from members, non-members and other institutions that are committed to addressing the housing challenges in California. It distributes these resources through Local Associations who have submitted funding requests for local programs that address housing affordability and housing supply directly. In order to have the maximum impact, it seeks to leverage its funds with Local Associations and their housing partners.
