Greater Metropolitan Association of Realtors® (GMAR) recently presented Community Housing Network with a donation of $25,000 from its annual Give Back charity fundraiser. GMAR Gives Back is an annual fundraiser hosted by GMAR allowing members to bid and donate to raise funds for local charities through the Greater Realtors® Foundation.

Community Housing Network (CHN) was chosen as GMAR’s 2021 charity partner. The partnership allowed GMAR to raise both awareness and funds for CHN’s mission of opening doors and changing lives for individuals throughout Michigan.

"Annually, GMAR's Member Engagement Committee calls on their members to submit non-profit organizations that could benefit from assistance, whether financially or volunteer resources. Last year, the Committee interviewed the Community Housing Network and made this selection. This was then approved unanimously by the GMAR Board of Directors because of Community Housing Network's support within the tri-county area to help provide affordable housing and education to consumers," said Teri Spiro, GMAR 2022 President.

 GMAR’s Gives Back event is held annually in November. To date, the event has raised over $200,000, of which $25K is donated annually to a partner charity.

 “Community Housing Network is grateful to Greater Metropolitan Association of Realtors® for partnering with us for their annual GMAR Gives Back event. The funds raised through that event will directly impact hundreds of individuals and families throughout Southeast Michigan in need of safe, affordable, stable housing,” said Marc Craig, President of Community Housing Network. “The work that we do is only made possible through the support of our communities. We can’t think of a better partner than our local realtors who witness the impact of inclusive housing in every community.”
