Bringing Affordable Housing to Surrey: A Cause Close to My Heart❣

As a realtor, I am dedicated to helping people find their perfect homes. However, I am acutely aware that for many, the dream of homeownership or even securing affordable housing is not easily attainable. That’s why I am honored to be part of an incredible affordable housing initiative right here in Surrey.
I believe that everyone should have the "OPTION" to find a safe, comfortable place to call home. This belief drives my passion and commitment to this cause.
🤝 I am thrilled to share that I am now working alongside the Entrepreneurs of Options Group, a dedicated team within Options Community Services. This group is devoted to creating and promoting accessible housing solutions, ensuring that everyone in our community has the opportunity to find affordable housing.
Habitat@81st is one of our shining achievements—a project that has provided 100 homes to individuals and families in need. But our work doesn't stop here. We have many more exciting initiatives planned to continue building and supporting affordable housing options.
How You Can Help!
Your support is crucial to our success. If you are passionate about affordable housing and want to make a difference, I invite you to join us. Your contributions can have a profound impact on our community.
