As part of the third annual REALTORS® Care Week, the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS® presented $16,000 to four local Habitats for Humanity funded by the South Carolina REALTORS® American Dream Housing Fund.

The American Dream Housing Fund raises money through sales of the “Homeownership: The American Dream” license plate, which supports construction of new affordable housing in South Carolina.

$4,000 was awarded to (each) Berkeley, Dorchester, East Cooper, and Sea Island Habitats for Humanity who all submitted applications for grant funding earlier this fall.
