Giving Back to the Community…CRS and Hearth
Wednesday, January 19th, 2011The 23th annual Founder’s Day Luncheon, celebrated by the Arizona Certified Residential Specialists (CRS) and the Hearth Foundation, is a commemorative event open to the community at large.
Founder’s Day celebrates the founding of The Hearth Foundation by members of CRS and the Tucson Board of Realtors®. Articles of incorporation were filed with the State of Arizona November 12, 1987 with the mission of establishing housing for homeless women 18 years of age or older with children 12 years or younger.
Since that time, Hearth has broadened its scope to include homeless women caring for children and has embraced the community at large, not just Realtors®. Hearth supplies transitional housing as well as emergency short term housing for homeless women with children and derives its funds from fundraisers sponsored by the organization as well as donations from the public and other civic organizations. Programs are provided by Our Family Services and New Beginnings.
CRS is an organization of Realtors® under the auspices of the National Association of Realtors®. Only four per cent of Realtors® hold their CRS designation, earned from both extensive continuing education as well as production, yet CRS agents account for 25% of the transactions nationwide. CRS agents are known for their skills and knowledge which serves clients well.
In the past, the Arizona Chapter of CRS has been named national Chapter with the Heart for its support of Hearth.
