2018 - 2020 Legacy Grant Partnership

CREB^® REALTOR^® Community Foundation has partnered with Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta on a three-year capital project.

This investment will create home ownership opportunities for 32 low-income families and, for many, the first chance to experience home ownership.

National Housing Day

To celebrate National Housing Day in the second year of our community partnership, our members pulled out all the tools and got down to work building homes under construction in Silver Springs. 

Watch as CREB^® REALTORS^® do their part to help share the comfort of home with those in need.

Other grant recipients 

For over 30 years, our members have invested in Calgary and area communities.

Prior to having our new granting structure in place that supports housing and shelter related initiatives, we contributed to many organizations in our community. Much of that work was done through our former giving program, Investing in HOPE.
