 Place a Bid, Make a Difference!
If you care about families having a decent and affordable place to call home, you'll want to participate in the Homes4NC American Dream Auction. That's because money raised at the auction will go directly to our grant programs, which help low- and moderate-income families with their housing needs.
Great Auction Items, Great Bargains!
Whether you're looking for a weekend at the beach or mountains, beautiful artwork or the latest tech tools you're sure to find it here and at unbelievable prices!
There are also CE classes included in the auction! The NC Housing Finance Agency donated two Financing Dreams classes, which teach members all about the financing and down payment assistance programs that can help them sell more homes. These classes are valued at $350 and in last year's auction went for $100 each. |
