The REALTOR® Foundation is committed to fighting the serious problem of homelessness in central Indiana. Its vision is simple: "To transition central Indiana individuals from homelessness or inadequate or unsafe housing to permanent solutions that will positively change their lives."

Since its founding, the REALTOR® Foundation has awarded grants that have helped central Indiana strengthen its communities. With an increase in the number of homeless people, the Foundation dedicates increased support to organizations that provide services to the victims of homelessness.

The REALTOR® Foundation is proud to continue its commitment to the fight against homelessness by increasing our grant allocation to a total of $80,000 for the 2008 grant cycle. This amount is the largest one-year allocation of grants yet. The grants are awarded to area charities that supply housing for victims of unforeseen circumstances.
