ABOUT REALTORS AGAINST HOMELESSNESS (R.A.H.):
REALTORS Against Homelessness (R.A.H.) began as a group of 10 realtors from various offices who joined forces in 2011 to combat homelessness; this issue had become a serious one among D211 high school students in the northwest suburbs, where more than 200 young people were classified as homeless. Since R.A.H.'s inception, its support network has grown to include hundreds of caring brokers, lenders, attorneys and other members of the real estate and school community as well as the greater area community. R.A.H. has raised more than $130,000 which have been donated directly to the District 211 Foundation. The funds are ultimately distributed to social workers at D211 high schools who provide needed assistance for both the teenagers and their families who are experiencing homelessness.
R.A.H. members include: Gail Bergstrom, Nick Blesz, Sandie Bobus, Maureen Brand, Randy Brush, Cindy Eich, Marty Eich, Sue Gould, Maria Radwan and Basel Tarabein.
