Celebrating 13 years, this annual fundraising event benefits local low income first time home buyers through the Santa Cruz County Association of REALTORS® Housing Foundation’s Closing Cost Grant Program
I am thrilled to be at the helm of “A Taste of Santa Cruz” this year. My goal and that of our committee is to not only host a tremendous and fun event, but also raise a record amount of funds for our grant program. The need has never been greater to keep the social fabric of Santa Cruz County vibrant with a diverse community of residents owning homes in our County. With median home prices reaching over $850,000, innovative homeownership programs are more important now than ever, The Foundation grant program, which helps teachers, first responders and other key neighbors, provides funds that are magnified several times over because the grants are almost always combined with City, State and Federal programs as well a family help and other groups like Habitat for Humanity. The Taste of Santa Cruz has raised over $380,000 for the Closing Cost Assistance Grant Program, placing over 250 families in homes of their own from the community support of this event.
“Abbott Square is the new cultural hub of Santa Cruz and we believe the new venue will breathe fresh energy into the event”, DeTeso added. “Join us in raising funds for a great cause and having a fantastic night out at the Museum!”
