In November, 2002, CALIFORNIA REALTORS® unveiled the Housing Affordability Fund, a non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to addressing California’s growing housing affordability crisis. In the midst of skyrocketing housing costs, REALTORS® were bearing witness to more working families getting pushed away from the American dream of homeownership. The Housing Affordability Fund was established to provide more options for first time homebuyers’ entry into homeownership.


MISSION STATEMENT:
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund plays an active role in addressing the ongoing housing affordability crisis facing our state. The fund will raise and distribute funds and partner with other groups to promote housing and homeownership and address all housing opportunitieslocally and statewide.

THE MORTGAGE PROTECTION PROGRAM HAS EXPIRED AS OF JUNE 30, 2010

1.   New applications will only qualify if received within 30 days of the Close of Escrow
      (close must have occurred no later than June 30, 2010)

2.   Pending applications must have closed by June 30, 2010 to qualify (HUD-1 Closing
      Statement must be received within 30 days of the close or the application will no
      longer qualify for the program.)


UPCOMING EVENTS:
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund is able to fund programs that help REALTORS® clients through your generous support. REALTORS® can contribute and support the Housing Affordability Fund by making a tax deductible contribution at the time you pay your dues, by getting your H.A.F. Key to California Homeownership Pin or participating in one of our upcoming fundraising events.

Key to California Homeownership:
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund is a charitable tax-exempt entity under both federal and state law. The entire amount (100%) of your contribution may be deducted as a charitable contribution under both federal and state law. Click Here to make a
contribution and get your Key to California Homeownership to show your clients that you care about helping them achieve the American Dream.

HAF DONORS:
Due to the generous support of our donors, we continue to develop programs that help working families achieve their dreams of homeownership.

Housing Affordability Fund Success Stories
The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund receives donations from members, non-members, and other institutions that are committed to addressing the housing problem 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.

Our Progress Snapshot will give you a summary of some of the programs the Housing Affordability Fund has supported
