Sanibel Captiva Community Bank is proud to announce its $10,000 sponsorship and support for Community Housing and Resources’ Give Your Art to CHR fundraising project and Feb. 1 gala at The Community House on Sanibel Island.
CHR will display artwork at participating businesses for several months. The artwork will then be auctioned off during the gala to raise funds for affordable workforce housing and resources on Sanibel.
Community Housing and Resources Inc. formed in 1979 as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization to address the growing need for affordable housing in the Sanibel and Captiva area. CHR also serves as the City of Sanibel’s housing foundation under the Affordable Housing Program established in 1983. Today, CHR owns 76 affordable housing units at various locations, including 67 rental properties – one of which is a 12-unit complex for senior residents — and nine Limited Equity Ownership homes through the Coast and Islands Community Land Trust.
