The REALTOR®-Habitat Gulf Coast Recovery effort -- Operation Home Delivery -- is progressing extremely well. Since NAR past President Tom Stevens issued the challenge at the Association Executives Institute in 2006, we have received a great deal of positive feedback and support.
Throughout 2006, work took place to build two REALTOR®-Habitat "Homes in a Box" in each of NAR's 13 regions across the United States. Throughout 2007, those "Homes in a Box" and other homes will be under construction in the Gulf Region, for a total of 54 homes.
The NAR Leadership Team, congratulates the Washington State Association REALTORS®, which was the first to send a $70,000 check. As of January 26, 2007 35 states have submitted their $70,000 contributions. They are listed here in the order their funds were received:
