Affordable Housing Awareness Week

This week, April 24th - 30th, is Affordable Housing Awareness Week! It's a week where over 500 Richmonders take the time to volunteer at worksites, local non-profits that improve the quality of housing through repairs or builds, and with neighbors in need.  It's a week where many volunteers become more aware of the communities housing needs and become involved in making a difference!

This Thursday, April 28th from 1 pm - 4 pm, many members of the Women's Council of Realtors will be volunteering at ReStore, the local Habitat for Humanity shop.  Sign up for a volunteer spot today through WCR.  Or, to find out about other volunteer opportunities, check out the AHAW 2016 page!

Following the day's volunteer work, there will be a Happy Hour get together right around the corner at Lalo's Cocina that is open for everyone to attend!

Hope to see you there!

Painting Murals with the RAR for new Senior Living Apartments!

I had such a wonderful time yesterday volunteering with other members of the Young Professionals Network in the Richmond Association of Realtors! We were painting murals to make the Somanath Senior Apartments beautiful and vibrant with color!  Still under construction by the Better Housing Coalition, these apartments feature accessible floor plans, high indoor air quality and direct access to a bus line.  It's a wonderful option for the Richmond senior community to live comfortably and stress-free!  Luckily the murals weren't based on my artistic ability, but they look really great!  Thanks for coming out with me, Bree!
