On the afternoon of May 4, Real Estate Club members came
full circle on a volunteer project when they attended a house blessing ceremony
for a local Madison family. During the
academic year, the UW Real Estate Club volunteered for two half-day build events
for the UW-Madison Chapter of Habitat for Humanity of Dane County. The ceremony was to congratulate the Vang-Cheng Family
on their new home (to be completely finished in June 2012).
Volunteering for the Habitat for Humanity organization is a good
match for the interests and passions of real estate club members. The club
members who worked on the Habitat house really valued the opportunity to
support a local family, and to work side-by-side at the construction site with them
on their new home. As noted by the Habitat organizers, the Vang-Cheng Family
has been one of the hardest working families the UW
chapter has seen in recent years. They dedicated 100+ volunteer building hours over
the necessary volunteer requirement for Habitat families. Their dream for a
spacious home where they can raise their 5 children has come true, and they
expressed their sincere gratitude during the ceremony.
The UW Habitat chapter has received a national award from
Habitat International for its innovative programs. To learn more about the
UW-Madison Habitat for Humanity Campus Chapter, visit their website. From the UW Real Estate Club, we
want to wish the Vang-Cheng family a very happy homecoming!
The Fair Housing Act prohibits "steering," defined as influencing the make up of a geographic location by providing its demographic information. While real estate agents have been complying with the anti-steering law since 1968 with the passing of the Civil Rights Act, these websites seem to circumvent this law that pertains to them as well. Many agents are weary of the legalities and fairness of information provided on the sites to not only the neighborhoods and their residents, but to the role of agents across the country.
