Habitat for Humanity Sarasota received a $25,000 grant from The Community Foundation of Sarasota County, Inc. The grant was made possible through the Sarasota Association of Realtors’ (SAR) Affordable Housing Fund.

sar-habitat-build [1]“Several years ago the Sarasota Association of Realtors (SAR) established the fund for Affordable Housing. This year we have plans to work with Habitat for Humanity Sarasota on a TEAM BUILD Rehabitat.  We have allocated $25,000 from the fund for this purpose,” said Kathy Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, Sarasota Association of Realtors.

Teresa, who grew up Kensington Park, will join the Realtor group again on April 23rd to accumulate more sweat equity hours.

SAR volunteers will be at the home site from April through early June to help renovate the Huffton Circle home in Kensington Park. Their participation will include demolition, landscaping, and painting of the home.

SAR volunteers will experience how they changed a life of a local family by working along the side of the family and getting to know them. Habitat homeowners are required to put in 300+ sweat equity hours in order to purchase a home through the Habitat program.

Working on a Habitat for Humanity Sarasota TEAM BUILD project is a great way to bring a group together to get to know one another, focus on teamwork, and serve the community while having a great time!
