Community Giving

By Jonathan Roberts
In 2019, Jonathan Roberts Realty was part of the legacy group that founded the the Pearl Society at our local REALTOR® Association’s Canopy Housing Foundation.
We seek to address unmet housing needs and advocate for fair and affordable housing standards and practices.
We are very proud of the work of the foundation and it’s staff and excited to announce a new initiative: the Canopy Innovation Award (Pearl Society Partners in Housing).
“The Canopy Innovation Award will offer a competition for five area colleges / universities with an ultimate challenge to identify innovative approaches to affordable housing problems. The year-long competition will conclude in November as each of the top teams present their concepts in front of a panel of industry experts. The competition will offer $10,000 in scholarship awards to those who take the top honors.” -Canopy Housing Foundation
