HAC 2020 Bear Autumn Is All Moved In
Autumn is all moved in to her home at Coldwell-Banker-King-Hendersonville NC!
COVID-19 has had an immeasurable impact on the scale of events happening this year, but it could not stop the annual Downtown Hendersonville's BearFootin’ Art Walk Auction from being a success for the Housing Assistance Corporation! This year, the Housing Assistance Corporation's charity bear, "Autumn," painted by local artist Rich Prazan, was sponsored by local real estate company Coldwell Banker King.
Terry King, president and CEO shared "This was the first year we've sponsored one of the bears, and we received so many compliments and so much great feedback from Autumn this year that we knew we wanted to make it a permanent part of the Coldwell Banker Family."
Thank you to those who made this happen. We are so happy our bear found a home with you all!

The 2018 Fundraiser House
Want to help and make a major difference in your community?
As many of you know safe and affordable housing is a major issue for our area, so this year H.A.C. is building a 'Fundraiser House' to help combat that issue. The House will be built using donated funds, material, and labor from individuals, organizations, and businesses within our community. The House will then be sold on the open market and the proceeds from that sale will go to Housing Assistance's multiple programs- which will serve around 120 people in our area. We are looking for volunteers to help with the build as well as monetary and material sponsors.
thank you to the following organizations and businesses to committing to the 2018 Fundraiser House. Your commitment will make a major difference in our community, so thank you!
