Our Centre Co. Association of Realtors is also raising money to endow a first time home buyer fund with our county foundation which is entitled the American Dream Housing Fund. We raise money by asking Realtors to allocate a portion of their commission checks into the Fund and also conduct an annual auction.

Are we trying to re-invent the wheel? Have we heard any comment from PHFA; how they feel about being “charged” with developing programs? Are we trying to re-invent the wheel?

As I stated when it first came up at PAR 2 years ago, I don't support funding it by putting any additional fees on anything that homeowner's have to pay (ie homeowner's insurance which was being proposed at the time). There are over 500 organizations in PA (at least several yrs ago when I chaired the Affordable Housing Task Force). If they all polled their money there would be a housing trust fund!

Let's solve this financial debacle WITHOUT looking for more money from those who PAY TAXES! Leave the CHARITY to longstanding Charitable organizationa;a/k/a: Habitat for the Humanities for one. Let our president encourage those who need housing to help such organizations with their sweat!
