Doing good in OUR Neighborhoods

When employees talk about Carter-Haston Real Estate Services, you often hear the word “team.” Carter-Haston is a company that values not only its employees, but the communities where the properties are located. This year, the team came together to “do good in their neighborhood.”

Throughout the years, Carter-Haston employees have enthusiastically given their time to Toys for Tots, local food drives, Breast Cancer Awareness and other services. In 2017, the company decided to dedicate the entire month of May to the many organizations that work to help each of our communities for our philanthropic activities.

More than 200 team members in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas donated nearly 1,000 hours to serve Habitat for Humanity, SpecialOlympics, Operation Home for Veterans, local foodbanks, homeless shelters and service programs, pet shelters, and numerous other worthy programs.

One highlight of the work done was with Operation Home, a group that provides necessities and housing for veterans returning from war with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Employees in South Carolina, with the help of THS Construction, built an access ramp for a veteran at his home. It was an honor to work together and build something that helps enhance the life of an individual, especially when the Veteran came out several times to see the progress with a huge smile on his face.

Our communities are very important to the Carter-Haston team and it is our privilege to be a contributing member and to “do good in our neighborhood.”

A Letter from National Apartment Association PAC Chairman, Chris Carter, Regional Vice President with Carter-Haston

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! At NAAPAC, however, there is no time for a break! Through June 30, NAAPAC has raised $416,493, so we are more than halfway towards our goal of $750,000 for 2017. This is in no small part due to the deep and wide support we enjoy from NAA members: 29 members have already made the maximum Platinum ($5,000) contribution and 25 affiliated associations have already met their Fund Our Future goal. I mentioned in my January letter that one of my goals this year is to increase participation at the higher donor levels by traveling to three different cities and meeting with prospective individuals. While my plans changed at the last minute, I am very pleased to report that an April NAAPAC lunch in Philadelphia hosted by NAA RVP and NAAPAC Trustee Gunti Weissenberger raised over $50,000! Thank you and great work, Gunti! We are looking forward to two more major donor events later this year.It has certainly not been a typical year in Washington, D.C. Nevertheless, it is as important as ever for you to participate in NAAPAC and make sure that the voice of the apartment industry is heard in Congress, as they consider potential tax reform, reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program and lawsuit reform for the Americans with Disabilities Act. All these possible laws will have a direct impact on our industry’s ability to provide quality homes for millions of Americans. If you work in the apartment industry, manage or own property, I strongly encourage you to join the NAAPAC club and donate today. Your support is critical in keeping members of Congress who understand our industry in office this year. No amount is too small!I hope you’ll join me in our efforts this year and invest in your industry.
