<p>The <strong>Houzd Community Giveback</strong> is our way of supporting the communities we serve every day.</p>



<p>At Houzd Mortgage, we believe being part of a community means more than just working in it. Instead, it means showing up, paying attention, and taking consistent action where it matters most.</p>



<p>Because of that belief, we launched the Houzd Community Giveback — a monthly program that supports local charities chosen directly by our clients, partners, and friends.</p>



<p>Each month, we set aside funds and invite our community to help decide where that support goes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Is the Houzd Community Giveback?</strong></h2>



<p>The <strong>Houzd Community Giveback</strong> is a monthly initiative where Houzd Mortgage donates up to $2,000 to a charity selected by our community.</p>



<p>Anyone connected to Houzd can submit a charity for consideration. Then, each month, we choose one organization to receive a donation on behalf of everyone who participated.</p>



<p>Additionally, as a small thank-you, we give away one <a href="https://www.softminkyblankets.com/?utm_campaign=brand_e&amp;tw_source=google&amp;tw_adid=721334607971&amp;tw_campaign=12873254566&amp;tw_kwdid=aud-1246938927588:kwd-25333148809&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=12873254566&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADKtxh5mIYxrtSmTzqtGTAot-DVcD&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAhOfLBhCCARIsAJPiopMDPx7jYhxaJnC6kEYk117TYTz2TyGiYtGdHVbOMWg3jytXrOEVnHsaAk_FEALw_wcB" type="link" id="https://www.softminkyblankets.com/?utm_campaign=brand_e&amp;tw_source=google&amp;tw_adid=721334607971&amp;tw_campaign=12873254566&amp;tw_kwdid=aud-1246938927588:kwd-25333148809&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=12873254566&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADKtxh5mIYxrtSmTzqtGTAot-DVcD&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAhOfLBhCCARIsAJPiopMDPx7jYhxaJnC6kEYk117TYTz2TyGiYtGdHVbOMWg3jytXrOEVnHsaAk_FEALw_wcB">Minky Couture</a> blanket each month to a participant who opts into the giveaway.</p>



<p>Ultimately, the goal stays simple: support meaningful causes while staying connected to the communities we’re fortunate to serve.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How the Houzd Community Giveback Works</strong></h2>



<p>Participating in the Houzd Community Giveback is straightforward:</p>



<p>• First, submit a charity you care about<br>• Next, we select one charity each month to receive a donation<br>• At the same time, we randomly select one participant to receive a Minky Couture blanket<br>• Finally, we contact all winners directly</p>



<p>There’s no cost to participate and no obligation beyond sharing a cause that matters to you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why We Created the Houzd Community Giveback</strong></h2>



<p>Over the years, we’ve worked with people who care deeply about their families, neighborhoods, and communities. In fact, many of our clients and partners already support causes doing meaningful work — often quietly and without recognition.</p>



<p>Because of that, we wanted a better way to learn about those causes and support them consistently.</p>



<p>Rather than making one-off donations, we chose to set aside money every month and involve our community in deciding where it goes. As a result, the <strong><em>Houzd Community Giveback</em></strong> allows us to give back intentionally, sustainably, and together.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who Can Participate?</strong></h2>



<p>The Houzd Community Giveback is open to:</p>



<p>• Past and current clients<br>• Real estate partners<br>• Friends and family<br>• Anyone connected to the Houzd community</p>



<p><strong>You don’t need an active loan or transaction with us. </strong>As long as there’s a charity you care about, you’re welcome to participate.</p>

<p>We’re grateful for the trust our clients and partners place in us.
