There are many individuals, organizations and institutions behind the success of our CCRH Internship Program. The list is too extensive to mention all, but we want to highlight and acknowledge the support of our core funders. Bank of America providing support since program inception. NeighborWorks America and Rural LISC partnering with CCRH for over a decade. Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation for uplifting our programming to better serve tribal communities and indigenous people. Finally, we welcome The Collins Foundation’s support this year for internship placements in Oregon. Your support contributes to developing the next generation of rural affordable housing leaders in our field!!

Overwhelmed with the outpouring of support from our nonprofit affordable housing community to the CCRH Internship Program. We successfully raised $13,000 through our Rural Housing Summit virtual fundraiser and Polar Bear challenge. Thank you to Cathy Creswell and Bill Pavao for leading the fundraiser with their annual contribution, to polar bear plungers, and all who participated in this giving fest. We appreciate your investment and commitment to developing a new generation of leaders, who reflect the lived experiences and uplift the voices of the people most disproportionately affected by the lack of affordable housing. Thank you for your solidarity!!
