CAAR Foundation awards $10K to Albemarle Housing Improvement Program

A foundation that is related to an association of real estate agents handed a check over to the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP).

“We believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure home,” said Greg Slater, Chair of the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors on December 5, 2024. “This grant not only supports essential repairs for families but also strengthens our community. We are excited to partner with AHIP in this mission.”

AHIP provides a range of services including emergency repairs, rehabilitation, and energy efficiency upgrades. According to their website, they served 97 households in FY2024. The organization had just under $3 million in revenue in 2023 according to tax filings made available through ProPublica’s nonprofit explorer.

CAAR also welcomed new leadership at their December 5 meeting. Josh White of the firm Story House Real Estate will serve as president in 2025.

CAAR was founded in 1925 and has over 1,300 members.
