NCJAR will raise funds for Morris Habitat, volunteer on various construction sites, and host virtual "Lunch and Learn" events.
William Flagg, president of North Central Jersey Association of REALTORS® (NCJAR), announced that the organization has launched a dynamic partnership with Morris Habitat for Humanity to help ensure decent, affordable housing for all, regardless of economic status.
"This partnership represents NCJAR's commitment to helping build strong supportive communities that enhance the lives and living conditions of all residents," said Flagg. "I am proud of this partnership and look forward to working with Morris Habitat to help the organization achieve its mission in Morris and Union Counties."
As part of the collaboration, NCJAR will raise funds for Morris Habitat, volunteer on various construction sites, and host virtual "Lunch and Learn" events to share information and updates about Morris Habitat's programs and volunteer opportunities.
"Our work would not be possible without the unwavering support of generous partners like NCJAR," said Blair Schleicher Wilson, CEO of Morris Habitat for Humanity. "Our homeownership program empowers individuals and families to build and buy their own homes. With rising housing costs reaching record highs, becoming a first-time homebuyer has become increasingly difficult. Partnering with NCJAR is a natural fit to help break down the barriers so many face when it comes to homeownership."
