Thank you to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to further our advocacy mission! WRA CALL TO ACTION - AB 607 Low-Interest or No-Interest Loans for the Rehabilitation of ResidentialWisconsin needs to invest in its older housing stock to build communities and create housing for Wisconsin's current and future workforce. The Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA) and the REALTORS® Association of Northeast Wisconsin support AB 607, legislation authorizing the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) to make low-interest or no-interest loans for the rehabilitation of residential properties when certain circumstances apply. Reinvesting in older housing stock pays off in the long run. RPAC Office Participation Awards - 2022In an effort to increase the percentage of members who contribute to either RPAC or Direct Giver, the Association is asking brokers to help highlight advocacy and other legislative activity; educating agents about RPAC and why it is so important to their business; setting an example of giving. These efforts by brokers play a critical role in the overall success of the Association as a whole.
