In August 2020, Redfin launched a philanthropic and community outreach program called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/rise\">Redfin Rise<\/a> to help underserved families achieve the dream of homeownership. As the director of Redfin Rise since January 2022, I want to take a moment to reflect on all we\u2019ve accomplished this year and celebrate the nonprofit partners, people and experiences that have helped make a difference in the lives of so many. Our Redfin volunteers and supporters make it all possible, and we are deeply grateful for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p><b>Our Partners Had Greater Impact<\/b><br \/>\nThrough Rise, Redfin supported and partnered with four nonprofit organizations that are advancing racial diversity within the residential real estate industry by creating opportunities for families through various homeownership programs and initiatives. Since 2020, Redfin employees have donated $1,603,682 to these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/rise\">Redfin partners<\/a>. This year, our donations provided extensive support for life-changing projects, including:<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Funded 1,372 housing counseling sessions for 940 Philadelphia families through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarifi.org\/\">Clarifi<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Supported the development of 22 permanently affordable homes for income qualified families in the Seattle area through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesteadclt.org\/\">Homestead Community Land Trust<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sponsored $135,000 in closing grants to 45 homebuyers in the Chicago area through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhschicago.org\/\">Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) in Chicago<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Constructed 515 homes in El Salvador and Mexico with <a href=\"https:\/\/newstorycharity.org\/\">New Story<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>We Helped More People<\/b><br \/>\nBehind each of the numbers above are real people with real stories, who are benefitting from the Rise partnership.

His mother was a substitute teacher at the school across the street, and as a child his home was always open to students, family, and anyone in need. Dwayne had promised his ailing mother that he would continue doing good in the community where he had grown up by purchasing the home his mother loved so dearly, and he intended to keep that promise. To lose the home his mother rented from the housing authority for decades \u201cwould be like cutting off my arm.\u201d But Dwayne would need some help along the way. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know what a credit score was.\u201d Like many of Clarifi\u2019s clients, Dwayne worked diligently for years to build his own path to homeownership, using Clarifi\u2019s many programs to shorten that path. With Clarifi\u2019s help, Dwayne owns his home, which now serves as the heart of his extended family and community, just as his mother intended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We worked closely with Homestead Community Land Trust to help individuals like Shavon Jones. A caseworker herself working with the unhoused, she and her five children lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Maple Valley, WA. Having grown up in Seattle\u2019s Central District, the family made sacrifices to keep her children in those same schools and in contact with the supportive community they had always known. Now Shavon and her family live near transit that allows them to get to and from school or work quickly. Shavon currently serves as a member of the Homestead Board of Delegates, giving voice to the homeowner\u2019s experience as the board governs the organization.

Before these homes became available, families living there lacked access to basic needs such as water, waste management, and electricity. Many of the families also had no access to a safe shelter for generations, living in houses made out of plastic and some metals. As of December 2022, 50 families have moved into their new homes and are excited to start a new chapter in their lives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75745\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75745\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-75745 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113-1024x775.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113-1024x775.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113-1536x1163.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/763a0651-22a6-4519-8ef3-973526826113.jpg 1585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Families showing off the keys to their brand new homes in Juayua, El Salvador.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Redfin Employees Volunteered More of Their Time\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\nThis year our employees also engaged in a variety of volunteer opportunities through which they contributed their time, expertise, and love for our communities all over the country.
