The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) 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.
Local Associations interested in applying for a grant will have to complete the forms below. To ensure consideration, funding requests applications must be submitted at least 7 weeks before any of the C.A.R. Business Meetings to allow for a review process. Please note that the review process may experience delays if further information or clarifications are necessary. Additionally, an in-person presentation of the program proposal is mandatory for all funding requests.
