White Plains, NY (September 2023) The Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation (HGRF), the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS®, recently presented a check for $2,000 to Community Housing Innovations, serving the Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island.


Community Housing Innovations (CHI) is a not-for-profit housing and human services organization dedicated to ending generational poverty by helping individuals and families secure quality, affordable housing.

“CHI thanks HGRF for this generous donation,” said Ron Abad, CEO of CHI. “We are excited to partner with HGRF on a joint mission to support individuals and families to own a home of their own. Homeownership is the foundation for upward mobility and generational wealth creation.”
